This week has had us all on the edge of our seats in excitement as well as intrigue as to what will happen next. There have been many fantastic sightings and all in all, it’s been a great week full of variation.

The Southern Pride has been very vocal for the most part of the week, calling long into the night for many days. They have been walking amazing distances and were often found well away from where they were last seen. They have not taken anything down recently and these last few days has seen them very actively going after big herds of buffalo, but unsuccessfully for the time being. Hopefully soon they will get lucky and will feast like kings once again.

There was a wildebeest carcass not too far from Selati Camp that has been the star attraction of the week, drawing in many of the resident animals of the area. Kigelia and Little Bush along with her cub were seen on separate occasions at the kill as well as numerous hyenas. The two Charleston males even made a turn past there just recently.

White Dam and her cub have been seen a few times, but she seems to have had a spate of bad luck with hyenas stealing her kill quite quickly after she makes it. It happened twice to the unlucky cat. She was not seen to many times this week and mostly afforded us very brief encounters with her.

Hlarulini has been seen a few times and has made the southern strip of the Sabi Sabi range part of her territory as she returns often to mark and patrol. She has moved in to stay and is looking to be doing very well.

The general game has been astounding and we have been very fortunate to have many sightings of buffalo, zebra, warthog, hippos and elephants all across the reserve. They have provided us with countless hours of amazing antics and experiences.

Maxabeni made a brief appearance and caused quite a stir after killing and eating a female baboon, for the last few days we have seen hide nor hair of him nor of any baboons. It was a rather interesting experience to watch him feeding on the baboon as well as the time we spent with him as he rested.
