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.

Exciting days at UMLANI. 2 days ago, the 6 birmingham breakaway males killed a buffalo in our camp during the night. They made themselfs comfortable around our camp and attracting, not only game viewers, but lots of different wildlife as well. Swipe to see what has been going on.

They where being chased from Shindzela few days ago, by either 2 Mongawane males (likely) or Hercules/Sumatra.
The Guernsey male keeps a careful eye on his surroundings - he’s treading on thin ice in the kingdom of the Black Dam coalition where he’s been seen lingering around the powerful Avoca Pride. Without territory to call his own, he’s careful to keep a wary eye on his surroundings.

Young Birminghams was around for a few weeks before the 6th male joined the. They were hunting buffalo for a few days but with no success.They chased off the Avoca male and in turn they got chased out of the area by Hercules and Sumatra males. They killed a buffalo further north east of here a few days ago.
As usual, in my absence the guides enjoyed some lovely viewing of the Giraffe Pride who spent several days on the property, including a couple of days on the plains with all 23 females and cubs accounted for; earlier this week the Hercules and Sumatra males were also seen mating with an unidentified lioness in the western parts of our concession. Naturally though, as I returned to drive all the lions decided to leave the area. Well, not all of them, and the Birmingham Breakaway males didn’t receive word that I had returned. These six growing boys spent three days on a buffalo kill close to Nkhari, and when following up on them the next day found them resting on the open plains of Nkhari. Sadly their fat bellies meant that they didn’t get up to too much, but it was nice to see them back in the area. The next morning Glen did manage to track down five members of the Giraffe Pride; how they got separated is a bit of a mystery, but there were reports that the other 20 members were a few kilometers south of our concession resting off a zebra kill. In their absence, three lionesses from the Sark Breakaway pride spent a day in the area, but when we tried to track them down the next day, their tracks moved to the north and into the Klaserie. There were also reports of the Mayambula Pride walking into the Kruger National Park in the far east… so it was a week of loads of movement from our lions. We can only hope that next week they decide to settle down a little and spend more time within our concession.
