Safari Update 30 May 2018
The week started off with a bang! A sighting that none of us will ever forget...
The Mbiri pride managed to bring down a huge male giraffe - this on its own was a sighting to behold. While watching the Mbiri pride feed on the carcass, their arch enemies the Nharu pride joined them on the same carcass! How do we explain this? Two different prides that for the last 2 years have competed for territory and resources now feed off the same carcass?! All we can say is...this is nature at is best! Always a surprise in store.
Then to make the sighting even more exciting, the 3 Giraffe/Avoca male lions ran in and chased both prides off the carcass and fed on it for the night. In the morning when we got back to the sighting with our guests, 21 lions were submerged in the carcass! Who were they? They were the 3 Avoca/Giraffe males, 12 Mbiri lions and 6 Nharu’s all on one carcass.
We couldn’t believe our eyes! Why would the Mbiris be feeding off the same carcass as the Avoca/Giraffe males? This after the fact that these males have been responsible for the death of a number of Mbiri cubs.
Additionally, why would the Nharu pride feed with the Avoca/Giraffe males as they are the not the fathers to the sub adults? Nature is truly amazing and always surprising...
The Mbiri’s also mangerd to kill a zebra and wildbebeest this week, so they seem to be doing very well and are keeping the cubs and young Nharu male well fed.
The Nharu pride has headed East towards Kruger but one lioness stayed behind to mate with the Avoca/Giraffe male. We are looking forward to seeing what happens from this!
The Birmingham pride also managed to kill a zebra on our northern border.
The 3 young Avoca males were seen mating with the Talamati pride in the South.
With regards to leopards - Rhulani and Nompethu stole the show for the week with numerous sightings of both cats. There is nothing better than a good leopard sighting.
Male cheetahs were also abundant this week with two separate coalitions being seen. Our resident coalition of 2 brothers were seen as well as coalition of 3 young males in the North.
So from the safari team a fantastic week of sightings to keep our guests on the edge of their seats. Where else in the world?
Until next week!
