Description
An incredible yet tense moment in Kruger National Park! We found Casper, the legendary white lion, together with his injured young Sweni companion, feasting on a young elephant carcass along the S126—deep inside the territory of the dominant Mayambula males, who took over the Sweni Pride a few years ago.
After their meal, Casper moved off to rest, leaving brother Mfowethu to guard the carcass. But peace didn’t last long. Out of nowhere, two of the powerful Mayambula males appeared on the scene, sending the young Mfowethu running for his life.
Moments later, Casper also realised the danger and took off in the opposite direction—with one of the Mayambula males hot on his heels! The chase went on for some time before the lions vanished into the bush, leaving us wondering what happened next.
It’s unclear whether Casper or Mfowethu had any direct confrontation with the Mayambulas, but we’ll be keeping a close watch for updates on this dramatic encounter.
Note: The young elephant is believed to have died from anthrax, as the carcass was removed by SANParks field rangers the next morning, likely for safe incineration to prevent the spread of disease.
GAME DRIVE ETIQUETTE - RULES (SANParks):
– When you come across a sighting, slowly pull over on the side of the road closest to the animal, but keep a safe distance and turn OFF your engine
– If there are animals in the road, immediately stop at least 20 m from them
– The lane furthest from the sighting should NEVER be blocked, so that others can pass if they want to
– Don’t linger longer than a few minutes at a sighting, so that others can view it too
– Never go off the designated roads
– Never climb out of your vehicle during a drive, or hang out of your car windows or sunroof
– Don’t hoot or blare loud music
– Avoid driving into vegetation, as this could damage the environment or kill small animals
– During night drives, never shine a spotlight directly in animals’ eyes
– Never make noise to get animals to move, stand up or otherwise react for pictures
– Respect the rangers, and always comply with their requests or instructions
