The sightings this week have been incredible as always with the Southern Pride and Fourways males being successful with numerous kills

With us having some nice overcast mornings and cooler days this week, everyone as well as the animals had a break from the intense heat the week before. It has been a very good week for lions as we had the Fourways males as well as four of the Southern Pride females for the whole week. After looking quite hungry, the two males were successful in bringing down a big buffalo cow and were joined the next day by four of the Southern Pride females. This, like always at a kill, allowed for some nice interaction between these cats. Only a couple of days later two younger buffalo were brought down by the pride not too far apart. Two of the females were absent and Floppy Ear was one of them. Solo was also spotted on his own before following his nomadic nature and moving off. This raised the question - where is the Kruger male (Freddy), as there was an altercation between Solo, the Kruger male and the two Charleston males on a different property a couple of days ago.

On the leopard front we were all very excited to see that Nottins is still around after she had been absent for a while. Mahlathini has been spotted more often, that makes us wonder if he is trying to push back into his old territory as Maxabeni has been seen to move further north more regularly. Maxabeni has also been spotted as well as his daughter, Kigelia and as she grows older one can recognise the family traits in her face.

Two big herds of buffalo were roaming around on the property which directly lead to the presence of the lions. Being close to a massive herd of these animals always leaves the guests in awe. A couple of herds of elephants were also found and the little ones were very entertaining as always.

So after another good week one can only wait in anticipation to see what the bush has in store for us next.
