![Yesterday we flew in with reports and updates about the Mabande male lion. You remember him? He’s the nomadic male who has spent the past few weeks patrolling and marking new territory. During the course of last week, he had a huge showdown with the Trilogy lions, the dominant males of the area. So, what’s […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/MabandeRossGirls4-370x275.jpg "Battle of the Klaserie Continues: Mabande vs Trilogy")

![Merciful rain poured down last night after some very hot temperatures yesterday and everyone at nThambo Tree Camp rose with the excitement of a morning game drive in cooler weather.

![Even as they lie sleeping, the vision of this fierce coalition is intimidating. The dominant male lions in this territory have made their mark, and any wandering lions from the Kruger Park would be foolish to take them on. nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot are spoilt rotten with sightings of the Trilogy males, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/DSC_4843_Fotor-370x275.jpg "Three’s a crowd: Trilogy male lions seen together again")

![We consider ourselves very fortunate to be able to show our guests what the wild is all about. It’s a responsibility and a privilege. Any game ranger and guide would agree.

![A huge amount of lion activity went down yesterday morning, and this time it wasn’t of the ‘two cute cubs’ variety… The Ross breakaway lionesses (one of whom is a new mother) and two of the Trilogy males were found by the nThambo Tree Camp dream team, Matt and Isaak. The foursome was found feeding off […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/lioness-feeding-from-buffalo-370x275.jpg "9 Lions want in on a buffalo kill in Klaserie")

![The lions have given the guests at Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp a fantastic opportunity to watch them closely as they devoured an entire buffalo over the last couple of days.

![These two certainly seem to like each other (although there’s not much to be said for monogamy in the animal world), and we are getting quite used to seeing the big cats of the Klaserie working on growing their families!

![The Trilogy is a coalition of 3 male lions who traverse the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. They’re either caught wreaking havoc with unsuspecting lions, stealing kills or mating with various lionesses. They have no fear and seek to dominate.

As always we had a warm welcome from Lily and the nThambo team – it was 35 degrees when we arrived so were thankful for a cool drink on arrival (well, Savanna and Castle to be precise).
