We enjoy a priceless morning with the cubs of the Island female leopard. The Piccadilly female with an impala kill. A southern Avoca male with a kudu kill.
...
From MalaMala Game Reserve to wherever you are in the world, we'll bring you moments from our daily safaris in one of Africa's most iconic private game reserves. This is essentially a continuation of our 'Rangers in Isolation' series which was filmed during the national Lockdown.

It was very clever of the mother to bring her cubs to a tree beside rocks so they wouldnt have to worry about climbing at their age but could still practice getting in and out of the branches. Also the adult female was a huge Leopard, a fabulous coat. She looked as big as a Lioness.

Incredibly beautiful sighting guys and great to see one of the Acoca boys too. He is looking huge and apart from something with his eye is looking pretty good. As always guys, awesome vid, many thanks. 👍👍

Hi there. No, there territory does include the southern quarter of MalaMala - we allow 3 of the Kirkmans vehicles to drive on that section of our reserve - so a lot of their posts are actually on MalaMala. If you look at the map their territory goes as far north as the start of the Tjellehanga river and westwards to the sand river. Thank you for watching!

@@MalaMalaGameReserve Thank you. Male lions live a tough life of warfare, and hunting dangerous prey. They get into scraps with the prides they reign over during feeding. They fight with coalition members over females, and other outside males creeping into their territory. The only way anyone would know is if they'd seen what happened. I suppose that would have been a better question for me to ask. You're very kind to take the time to answer. Take care!
