Mike and Fiona have come to the end of their safari this time (although we know it won’t be long until we see them again!), and we’ve just read about their last few days at Africa on Foot. There couldn’t have been a more magnificent ending if we could have planned it – lion cubs…
Guests at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp were treated to a fantastic sighting of the Trilogy Males feasting on a male giraffe. The rangers had noticed the giraffe looking worse for wear and feared that it would not last long. The Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp rangers suspect that the Trilogy…
We arose to yet another cool, crip morning here in the Klaserie just in time for our early morning game drive in our famous open-topped Land Rover called Air Force One. Even though I felt like 40 ice-blocks had slapped my body, I still managed to get up. This morning was one of the coldest…
Dave Jackson was lucky enough to capture one of the Trilogy males mating with one of the Ross Pride females. In the background we have one of our rangers chatting to us about the mating process with lions. More importantly, it is now confirmed that the Trilogy of lions are now firmly in control of…
What has been happening the past few days in the land of the Klaserie lions? Well, for starters, one of the Trilogy males was caught mating with a Ross Pride female. We caught the act on camera. It is now clear that the Trilogy want the Ross Pride for themselves. Kevin MacLaughlin took these images…
Mike Lentz, together with Dave Jackson, took this video of the Trilogy of lions. The video was taken shortly after one of the lions charged the nThambo game vehicle. In the video we can hear Mike and Isaac discussing the Trilogy and the pride dynamics. Fantastic to hear their opinions captured on video with the…
As we suspected, the Trilogy of lions trying to take over the Ross Pride kingdom are a fierce coalition of lions. We have just heard from the team at nThambo Tree Camp that one of the Trilogy charged the game vehicle. One of the males came towards the vehicle and Isaac, our quick-witted tracker with…
There’s a buzz in the air in the vicinity of nThambo Tree Camp. Daily we are receiving updates about how the “Trilogy” of male lions are slowly creeping their way into the Ross Pride territory. It was subtle at first and now they are being quite bolshy about their intentions. Initially they appeared skittish with…
And here we have it. Finally – the “Trilogy” of male lions that have been threatening the Ross Pride have been caught on video. Look at the size and stature of them ! Dave Jackson and ranger Kevin Maclaughlin managed to get up close and personal with them. You will notice Chuck and Larry (sub-adult…
We promised you a lion update of what was happening in and around the nThambo and Africa on Foot territory. It appears that this trilogy of lions we spoke about in a previous blog post are here to stay. Mike and Fiona, our repeat guests at nThambo, captured unbelievable photos of these three big beasts….
