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.

Only time will tell. They haven't venturing this far since ages. It was around 2018 or so when all five males were at Umlani, Kambaku and surroundings areas.
A recent sighting of one of the five Vuyela males seen a couple days ago at Walkers River Camp and at Umlani Bushcamp on Scott property with four lionesses of the Vuyela pride. With five males roughly 6 to 7 years-old the Vuyela coalition made up of five males is getting stronger day by day!
Meet the Vuyelwa/Vuyela coalition - Why Vuyela? In Shangaan, Vuyela means “to return” These lions have returned time and time again to Africa on Foot; and it seems they are there to stay. It’s amazing seeing a coalition firmly entrenched in this part of the Klaserie, because in reality there’s a lack of commitment from lions wanting to establish themselves. Since as the Trilogy coalition, Ross pride and Ross breakaway pride are no longer in the Klaserie region.

A true beast of male lion - One of five Vuyela males seen at Klaserie. Their territory is extensive and straddles the border of Timbavati and Klaserie, centered around Nthambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot. Photo credits Meagen Krige, Sept.11, 2021

In addition, Monwana male has more scars on his face than this male as pictured.
