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.
MALAMALA TODAY: September 25th-27th. 23 big cat sightings were recorded over the last 3 days as well as 2 sightings of Cape hunting dogs, several herds of buffalo and many elephants. Lions: The members of the Kambula pride and Gowrie male coalition have been spending virtually all of their time along the Sand River between MalaMala Camp and Rattray’s Camp. Water is a scarce commodity at this time of year and so the pools of water in the river attract an abundance of game while the stands of tall reeds on the sandbanks make for excellent cover from which these lions are launching their attacks. We viewed them with nyala, impala and bushbuck kills. The cubs have also been moved back into the Sand River after a brief stay at Styx Rocks.
