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.

Finally!! A promise of new blood for the Mbiri Pride. I was beginning to think the KBoys weren't interested in venturing north into Manyeleti.
I get what you're saying but aren't they still somewhat related to them due to their fathers comming from the Birmingham Pride?
They are, but at this point even mating with "somewhat related" males would be an improvement for the Mbiri Pride's gene pool.
I have read the Mibiri pride was originally the Birmingham sisters and their brother were the Birmingham male lions that went to Sabi Sands. Is this correct?
That’s the Narhu pride with Red Road as the dominant male. A couple of the matriarch lionesses are still alive, the sisters of the Birmingham boys! I think there were originally 3 sisters? I’m not sure of the current pride numbers but I believe they have been doing well.

I made this same mistake recently, but the Nharus are: 3 original lionesses, 1 Thanda Impi daughter and then up to 5 daughters of Red Road, depending on how many of them are still with the pride.

Yeah we likely won't hear as much as we did when they were/are into Sabi Sand.
But Manyeleti has some decent amount of updates and footage, just like with Mbiri Tintswalos (Ncile, Mandevu and Lambile).
Also its more likely guides could name them there...
IMO its better for them to be there. They were putting nothing on the table at Sabi Sand for months not to say year(s).
Even in an environment full of duos they were unable to impose themselves. Its of anyones understanding that the duos on Sabi Sand are all formidable to say the least, but nothing changes the fact that they had twice the numbers of their opponents.
I believe that the sister's presence can influence in their "mentality", but we cannot attribute the blame to her. It is worth remembering that at least two of them seemed to have absolutely little to no interest in mating with lionesses, be they Nkuhumas or even their own sister.
Maybe in Manyeleti things can change for whatever is best for them... Less dominant males and coalitions means less or atleast "weaker" competition.
Mbiri Pride does not even have dominant males. Others nearby that i can remember have only solitary dominants(?), such as Red Road or even male Kruger closer to Sabi sand.

Kambula males and the two females were seen at south of Manyeleti reserve (Honeyguide Tented Safari Camps - Khoka Moya & Mantobeni) (author says they were close)
