There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

This pride occupied the Eastern Sabi Sands in the late 1990s and the early 2000s I believe, they really went on a journey to southern Kruger

The two remaining Shishangeni males and two of the lionesses, opposite 3222/South Post earlier today in the morning. 
they had moved to the triangular rocks, opposite Jackalberry, with the one male having lagged a bit behind.
About 6 buffalo came down to drink, near the gully, to the left of where the lions had settled. After a drink, they gradually made their was towards where the lions were, on and next to, the rocks. The first few passed by with the lions watching them intently. As the last few got opposite them, the one male moved and was immediately spotted by the buffalo. With that, the other male lion rushed forward and the buffalo took off, heading deeper into Kruger. The females soon left the rocks, with the males in tow, and headed east, passing Two Trees parking area. They all settled on more rocks, under the little 'Christmas tree' east of Two Trees.

1996 Northern Kruger National Park, two mature male lions, of a coalition of six brutish lions. Lions that killed buffalo almost every other day. The most impressive lions I had known at the time.
Those six males were dominant on the north of Shingwedzi camp in a non tourist area. They were not ‘known’ like the famous Mapogo lions. They came and went doing what lions do, especially if we build dams in their territories and artificially create an area that can support a super pride or super coalition. The same applies in many ways to the Mapogo lions.

Maybe the Mazithi males but Lower Sabie seems most likely

I first heard the news about the possible death of one of the Mopani Males on your youtube channel. Your content is incredible and your channel is one of the most informative platforms out there. So thank you for taking the time to always add info and timestamps on your footage. 
Been watching your channel since its inception, and it continues to improve & evolve thanks to your hard work.

I appreciate this comment so much! Greatly appreciated! We recently started our memberships as well. We also decided that all all Wildfact members will get the 19.99 USD option for only paying the 9.99 USD option. These funds literally go into money to be able to go back and film the mopani males or places that we dont go...

These are five of the Mantimahle males, however, Lower Sabie is a road of the Kruger National Park, Lower Sabie was an home range of the old Mantimahle males territory.  Just to update and avoid confussion with the three Lower Sabie males that are frequent in the region so far.
