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.

A stunning shot of the Black dam male!
The Giraffe pride lion in Timbavati. The Black dam male moved from Thornybush reserve some time ago and become the dominant male over Giraffe pride. Some cubs did not survive but 6 cubs are doing well. They were resting at a dam after feasting on a wildebeest kill. We saw a total of 12 lion.

Baobab Ridge guests were treated to a truly special sighting when the beautiful, big-maned lions known as the Sumatra and Hercules males paid us a “royal” visit recently. Their territory is in the neighbouring Timbavati but they regularly explore the Klaserie and on this occasion decided Baobab Ridge was the place to be. Thanks to our friend Douda Aida of Into My Wild Africa for the stunning photo!

An amazing scene witnessed by guests recently when the dry weather drove a couple of lions to try and drink from this hippos pool. Let's just say it didn't go as planned! Desperate times means desperate measures.

This beast and Brutus, Have took-over the Avoca pride and sired to the 5 Avoca males and some lionesses in the Avoca pride. Now, The old Giraffe lioness (sister of them) is still alive and doing well in the Timbavati area.

The oldest remaining female #lion from@the @blackdampride will take over the reigns as the leader of the pride. This role is quite familiar to her, as her impressive size and muscle structure, led to her leading the 4 Blackdam Breakaway #lions, and only joining the actual pride once every few weeks or so.
Fathered by the #timbivatimale lion, and born along with 2 sisters about 6 and a half years ago, she is the only remaining female from that litter. Her two daughters, now 3 years old, fathered by the #giraffemale, along with one of their similar aged half sisters, will be responsible for growing the pride.
The six young males are venturing further and further away, as nature intends, and are being seen less frequently in the core parts of their maternal pride territory.
