Redroad ,is a warrior and he doesn't look like he is ten years old. I pray he last another three more years. He is a strong, smart, great male lion. I also pray that Ncila is still with us. I love him too. We will see as we travel through time and space. Enjoy thanks for sharing
Never really knew any Red Road origins or that he even hung out with another male lion!! Sad he lost his partner early on and been a Dominant one man show fending off everything that comes his way!! True Legend!!
Yeah his partner was the Koppies young male sired by the Northern Matimbas. He was thought to have been killed by either the Avoca/Giraffe males, or Orpen males as I’ve heard conflicting stories.
@@styx5131 also I totally forgot that Red Road was snared and spared!! Been to involved with all the whoopings he puts on everyone that it slipped my mind till this video!!
Red road is a Legend dude literally had fought every challenger and defended his pride despite the odds. He is a solo male and has achieved feats no other males could and his vast legacy is astounding. Truly there will never be a lion quite like him. I hope he reigns a few more years.
So far and after many years following videos and reports regardind these precises Kruger's areas ... this is the best work to my opinion. Comments and pictures are excellents, the story as explained is really good and leave us time to understand ! I loved as well the sort of Tribute to passed away lions, Lambile, possibly poor N'cila and plenty of other ones not so well know and mostly gone too young. I will end my comments with an exceptionnal hug to King RRM, he is in my heart like for many of us ...! I feel incredibly lucky to come before end September and for a few days exactly where he patrols, Tintswalo, Sabie sands, etc. My first experience in Africa and for two weeks fully dedicated to the magic African wild, ...just can't wait !! Huge thank you for the video makers and now waiting for the next one wether it is before or after I'll be at Kruger's ❤ 🙏
I really appreciate these videos. So so much! Thank you! I really pray the ridiculousness of snares in the Manyeleti can be calmed. Again, thank you! 🙂💜
I guess one of the big problem is, the south of Manyeleti is open to the public and not nearly as protected as the other private game reserves that border local communities.
I have always loved red road,i knew he was very special❤ive followed him for years.I think all lions are special but he has always been lil more special to me.long live the king RR.great father great protector ❤❤❤I appreciate your videos so much ty.😊i miss junior ❤he captured my heart along with so many out there.
What a fantastic video. Thank you. It can be difficult following the various groups and knowing the history and interactions. This explains everything. And beautifully presented.
I really love your presentation as being professional and your voice too ! RedRoad I have followed since he was a young male and named after the red road , I believe the coalition though small was in that general area near the Tswallow lodge , Alistair thought Red roads days were over , So proud of this king as he’s learned a long the way and has balls of steel , Nchila ( I may misspell ? If u get it get over it 🤛! ). Back to Nchila who was the leader at the beginning when there were four in the meadow and the next morning after a night not much was known about only three returned , I spaced the fourths name , Being snared he had it harder than Red road in regards to his injury , He I rooted for big time since early on , He must be gone , I know the many ways this could of happened, Evidence or finding out isn’t easy there . I work with wildlife throughout the Sierra Nevadas and since six or seven actually trekked alone in some diverse wild mountains , Backpacked alone extremely high at night with a moon , Something or one of resides in our mountains that is unprecedented in size and strength , Identity ?

Great 👍 Podcast ! I will support shortly ! HIT THE LIKE EVERYONE IT REALLY IS IMPORTANT AND HELPS ! Do it first or you’ll space it or won’t but best anyway ! Long live Red road ! He has a place in me I don’t give to many ! Get back and see him ! Kevin
Thank you for your videos! They are so informative and we can kind of keep track of everybody. Your voice is very clear and easy to understand which is which lol.
thanks for the video, always enjoyed. King Red Road forever!!! Yeah Manyeleti has the reputation of being a paradise for poachers. Tavangumi and Maribye (leopards I know) but we love them. Stay strong Maribye. KING RED ROAD says suck it Alistar!! Pity Mandevu has maybe lost his brother much love Ncila
Red Road - so so strong. A true king!! 💜💜 I keep hoping that Maribye doesn’t feel attracted to go back to the Manyeleti. So many wonderful lives lost due to that place. I really hope that area can be helped. I’ll donate! 💜💜

The Mbiri prode lost one of their sub adult males earlier this year. The Male born in December 2021 has not been seen since late May. they are also now down to a single cub which has been confirmed to be male.
Thanks for the detailed updates. I think it really makes a difference because of the wonderful details & info. you include. You're obviously a thoughtful person who cares about the lions in that area. One thing I'm sure is bothering many is the staggering # of snares that are catching the lions. The # of victims of those snares you listed is inordinately high. Do you know if any actions are being taken about this? I'm certain some hidden cameras in the bush could possibly lead authorities to the identity of these offenders. If the offenders are caught & prosecuted, I'm sure it would be of great help..bcz just going around & looking for snares is good, getting to the source is better.
Thank you for the kind words. They have border patrol and search teams out, but obviously they can't detect everything. Most incidents happened in the south eastern corner of Manyeleti (area around Punghwe) which is not a private concession and open to the public, and IMO a big part of the problem. Other Private game reserves e.g in Sabi Sand who border local communities are not as big as Manyeleti and therefore have a smaller areas to protect with fewer people.
Thank you again for sharing this adventure in this walk of there world for we have some of the same similarities in our world and we have a hard time trying to understand there similarities to our world " YET " little is known to our own similarities to each other ...

I do hope the report (allegedly from Aug 28), refers to the one cub that went missing about 2-3 weeks ago. There was an update from Tintswalo today with 2 cubs in the sighting, but those are also mostly 2-3 week behind. Let's cross fingers both cubs are still alive.
@@allaboutthelionsofsabisand2743they lost a second cub about ten days ago and are now down to a single cub that is confirmed to be a male from the youngest litter of two.
I hear Shaka and Zig Zag are a fearsome duo in this region would love to hear about them more, they are Mbiri males. Red Road is a living legend at this point
Shaka + Zigzag were born 2013, and sired by the Northern Matimbas… originally 3 males, but one was killed while nomadic in the Kruger Park. They returned to the central Timbivati in 2017, eventually taking over their first pride… the Zebanine pride, and then the Myambula pride, and then the Skorro pride in 2020 after ousting the Hercules + Sumatra males. They currently control the Birmingham pride. The Myambula males dominant in the Kruger are their sons… originally 6 males were down to 5 when they became dominant. Myambula males were born around Dec 2018- Jan 2019… with all 10 cubs(male + female) being born around May of 2019. Hope that helps… cheers.
@@styx5131 Thanks that does help indeed , I learned a lot I didnt know. They are actually older than I thought. I just saw a video of them that was very disturbing, they are probably the most brutal lions I have seen. Jesus them two eating a male lion while he is still alive is stuff of nightmares but hey nature is scary sometimes
outstanding summary, The Skinny One, the virtual safari started my journey into the lion world, i guess i started when the ophen males were dominant, JR was some specimen, Like others i dont like having Favorites , but Red Road is no doubt right at the Top, i also have a soft spot for the YBM ,he survived some beatings growing up, i was fortunate to see a video of YBM hold onto a kill with a pretty good size pack of hyena harassing him thru the night. I remember those guides stating Red Road days might be numbered, what a stud, Theres no wonder ,why there called Kings, hes proven that many times over, a solo pride male in the middle of some of the most fertile soil around, prime habit, the borders sabi and kruger, one of a kind. Anyway , God bless both prides and coalitions, very good information put out in this video, exactly how i rememberd it.Thank you as always. stay safe , be well!!
Good info an update.i wonder what happened to orpen youg skorro male? Last time I saw a video of him was like 6 months ago around the time he was with nkuhuma male
Grat video overall through needs to be noted that you are confusing Mongawane coalition with Monwana young males. Mongawane coalition is a duo of 2 unrelated males in their prime that are settled on H7 road where Skorro pride is residental. They might potentially have or had territorial dispute with Tintswalo males over Skorro pride and might have somethink to do with Ncile sudden dissapearance. Monwana young males are 3 young males that were recently seen in Manyeleti, they are the males that video of you included in this video. There is no reason to assume Monwana young males could have anythink to do with Ncila dissapearance.
Mongawanes are related through the Birmingham bloodline. White Dot is the mother of the Birmingham Mongawane aka Osindile & Torchwood was sired by Nhenha Birmingham who was from the Birmingham Pride.
The Kambula males and their sister are featured in the monthly updates of "lion pride dynamics Sabi Sand". She left her brothers in July and has not reunited with them, which will be discussed in the August update. This video is centered around the lion prides and males of Manyeleti.
As always so informative, ty. Lets hope that things turn around & poachers & those that allow it start being held accountable & receive lengthy jail sentences...only then will this end🙏🏻🫶🦁
The name is actually "Mbirhi" and it means two. The formation of the pride must have been down to two lionesses. "Nharu" means three and that is in line with the three Birmingham sisters that formed the pride. The Manyeleti is riddled with snares. This in part due to the locals in the area,as the reserve forms part of their ancestral area. The area was taken from them and over time,turned into a Game Reserve. They still poach game in the area,and lions and other big cats are often uinteneded targets. Very worrying that the issue persists till today.
Red road has fought everybody in his path even outnumbered he held his ground. What a beast.❤

I really appreciate these videos. So so much! Thank you! I really pray the ridiculousness of snares in the Manyeleti can be calmed. Again, thank you! 🙂💜
We have to accept that Manyeleti, a year or two ago, was no longer a safe place for our lions.
I guess one of the big problem is, the south of Manyeleti is open to the public and not nearly as protected as the other private game reserves that border local communities.
You never fail to deliver hilarious content.
You are a perfect example about how good a lion dynamics video could be. Im fan of this channel. 😍

The Manyeleti is riddled with snares. This in part due to the locals in the area,as the reserve forms part of their ancestral area. The area was taken from them and over time,turned into a Game Reserve. They still poach game in the area,and lions and other big cats are often uinteneded targets. Very worrying that the issue persists till today.
