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.

Reads like he's on his own (at least at the time of the sighting they posted about) as well.





Concerning with the odd video of the wounded and limping lion that nobody seems to be able to identify.  This is Orange Eye in this video isn't it?

Both Ndhzengas where seen after that, they are rumored to be the ones who attacked that male, as they where seen near by.

We had two sightings of the two N’waswishaka male lions.

We were still out to find the pride of lions that were evading us. We were spurred on by news that they had indeed been spotted earlier in the day but finding them proved challenging. Rain and wind meant that almost no evidence had been left behind. They moved, seemingly like ghosts, but we were determined to find them until eventually they appeared and boy was it worth the effort.

The very rarely seen Kambula Pride had made their entrance. This large pride and its many young cubs were accompanied by one of the N'waswishaka males. They moved through the wet grass, with the mother lionesses paving a route for the cubs to follow along, one by one, in a line. The large male soon followed, scent marking as he went off into the wet thickets.

In the far north-eastern corner of our reserve lay the figure of a large male lion hidden between Magic Guarri thickets. Sheltered from the rain, this N'waswishaka male groomed himself thoroughly, halting to scan around, seemingly still in search of his companions. A scent drew his nose high into the air, enticing him to get up and start moving. From the core of his being, a roar of great magnitude arose, almost as to bid farewell and move deeper into the bush.

So wait... 2 or 3 days ago they were seen in almost Sabi Sabi, and now they are in Chitwa?  Good lord.  Is that possible?  Are they sleeping?

Lions can easily walk 5-10 km in a day.

Recently, Talamatis and NK where seen first day in western sector and next morning in Sabi Sabi aswell.

All I ever see them doing is flopping around... hahaha... just wild they are moving back and forth so much.  I feel we are in for a very tumultuous time in the near future here in Sabi Sands.  Lots of moving parts on the board.

Experience the ultimate call of the bush as the mighty Ndzenga male lion's resonant roar reverberates over the plains by Londolozi. This powerful display of dominance encapsulates the beauty of nature's voice in this unforgettable moment.

A newly mature Talamati Lioness had sought out one of the dominant males in the eastern parts of Londolozi, a Ndzhenga Male. She had now come into estrus and was looking to conceive her first litter of cubs.

Hmm, wonder if this is the lioness that supposedly had cubs already?  Anybody heard anything more about them?  Where are the pride members situated these days?

There seemed to be some confusion about when this mating encounter was filmed. Someone in the comments was saying it was filmed in June. Sean mentioned OE fighting with the Black Dam males, and his face was all beat up (though that could be Amahle or  Kambula girls), which could be from the recent alluded to fight between the two coalitions. Or it could have been from a past scrap. To me she does look like the first Talamati lioness that started mating with different males, and we know she mated with OE around this time. But I'm happy to be corrected by someone who can better ID her.

Anyway, as people have said previously she's a big girl. OE is obviously below average, but she's a similar size to the large Kambula lionesses. Dark Mane's daughter.
