Glad that you and your family enjoy...Morning Carly<br /><br />Glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Motswari and are keen to come, the Timbavati is a special place!<br /><br />Yes, its very sad about our female, but the whole prides problems started whent he aging Sohebele male abandoned his pride in December 2008; he just walked away and never returned to them. For three months we saw no sign of him, so assumed he was dead, but then he reappeared in April and spent about a month in the area before moving off again. He hasnt been seen for a couple of weeks, but just yesterday morning the guides followed tracks for a male lion that they were sure was the Sohebele male, but he the tracks wandered off the property, so he wasnt found....but keep a lookout on the blog, i will defintely post any information we have on him and what happens to our dear Sohebele pride.<br /><br />Thanks for the meassage!<br /><br />ChadChadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775438753174835106.post-9075362221509310562009-06-14T23:19:48.995+02:002009-06-14T23:19:48.995+02:00am also sorry to hear about the lioness it is very...am also sorry to hear about the lioness it is very sad! is the sohebele pride the pride with the old male lion?<br /><br />carly xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775438753174835106.post-31308325148916389782009-06-14T23:16:40.333+02:002009-06-14T23:16:40.333+02:00hey chad
