Bumbusi’s new ‘tenants’
September 2020: “There is a new pride on the block (spotted with very full bellies)! Hopefully the scent marking means that they are here to stay for a while…”
Eternal Enemies
May 2020: “We were admiring a herd of elephants when we noticed two male lions walking down the road. What seemed like a slow amble for the pair suddenly erupted into chaos! One of the males lowered himself into a crouch before he suddenly took off, charging down the riverbank into the thicket. As the dust and commotion had settled, we witnessed the unexpected. The lion had his jaws clenched around a merciless, spotted hyena. the brothers did not feed on the hyena, but left the carcass – a symbol of an Iconic rivalry between two of Hwange’s apex predators.”

March 2020: “I have driven past this particular tree many times before, and despite its grandeur there was always something missing. It was the perfect place for Hwanges most elusive cats.
