I'd like to see some clips of Red Road walking next to his eldest sons, so we can see their growth progression.
Oooh I love this idea ❤
Thank you Tristan, Alistair and Tintswalo. It's a real pleasure watching your channel.
We love your episodes! Thank you very much. We can’t get enough of the lion prides !
I enjoyed Virtual Safari the way it is now, thank for sharing with us
I'd love to see an hour or longer video production, as it's difficult for me to watch other documentaries that have music blaring over all the natural sounds and I most appreciate the authenticity of Tintswalo guides and their descriptions & experiences of the animals we're watching! ♥️ God's many blessings to you all this year!
Personally I think keep doing what you are doing. I watch each episode in the mornings before work which is a highlight of my day. Thanks for great content.
Beautiful Red Road is the epitome of a lion king. He rules like the badass that he is.
Thank you Tristan and Alistair, you always supply meaningful updates on the prides. Lovely to get so close up that we feel part of your world, especially the bush sounds that I can’t get enough of.
Happy New Year
“FREEDOM FRONT PLUS, LEOPARD IN SNARE: GAME POACHING IN MANYELETI RESERVE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Werner Weber, Jun 20 2023 The unbridled poaching of wild animals in the Manyeleti Game Reserve has gotten out of hand and drastic steps must urgently be taken to put a stop to it. The FF Plus viewed shocking video footage taken of a male leopard with a cable snare abound its body in this Big-Five Reserve. The snare had drawn so tight that it left a deep, large, gaping wound all the way around its body.
This is not the first animal caught in a snare in this Reserve. Snares must frequently be removed from lions and hyenas. The fence between the Reserve and the surrounding local community is in a terrible condition, and poachers simply walk into the Reserve with their hunting dogs.
The Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) conducts nearly no anti-poaching operations during the night. In an official letter to the MEC for Tourism and Economic Development, Ms Nompumeleleo Hlophe, the FF Plus posed pertinent questions about anti-poaching initiatives and also requested an urgent meeting with her. The policing of game and poaching must be intensified. A permanent anti-poaching unit that patrols day and night must also be established. Action must be taken at once, because in a decade’s time and at the current rate of poaching, there will be very little left of many of the species in Manyeleti, which borders on the Kruger National Park.
It should be a blasphemy for Mynelety, Sabi Sands authorities, and lodge owners to use Talamati Breakaways name in vain. This is simply not just about the S8 Imbali or about not having luck or about the lioness not being able to provide/hunt for youngsters. This is 💯 % due to egregiously negligent and incompetent and corrupt conservancy management by all of them. It is a fact that the Talamati Breakaways is pride WHERE IT LITERALLY TOOK (from April 2023 to November 2023) TAKING DOWN ALL 4 ADULT MEMBERS OUT in their core territory ONE BY ONE (none from natural causes in the wild) BEFORE EVEN A SINGLE ONE OUT OF THE FIVE TALAMATI BREAKAWAYS KIDZ DIED. IT IS A ALSO A FACT THAT 3/4 ADULTS OF DIFFERENT AGES EXHIBITED EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS FROM HIGHLY MOBILE AND HEALTHY TO SUDDENLY SICK, VOMITING, white foam on the mouth, EXCESSIVE THIRST, AND STATIONARY, QUICKLY DETERIORATING AND DEAD IN 48-82 HOURS and THE 4TH ONE SNARED AND SHOWN ONE MONTH LATER STILL BLEEDING FROM THE CORNERS OF HER MOUTH on WE Nov 25 2023 sunset drive., which explains why a sole remaining provider lionesses who who took down zebras, kudus, buffalo and fed all five kidz from June 2023 to end of October 2023 all of a sudden has trouble- she was/ is pain and does not have the strength to grab to suffocate the pray without causing rein-jury to the corners of her mouth. Cedric says they lost their body mass after S8 died. They lost body mass two weeks before S8 died after this lioness was snared and Cedric and WE supported inadequate care provided for not releasing the lioness near the kidz after removing the snare and providing a meal or to just for a jump start especially since there is no debate that snare was human caused. Not only that but they embedcompassionate discrediting comments to give impression that the lionesses is in a fantastic condition and that they are a weak pride that have trouble hunting throughout other episodes and in this video. Back as early as Oct 23 and 25, they received feedback from many to do a fundraiser to fund this effort quickly as many would have donated to prevent exactly what happened since clearly the lioness needs time to recover from the snare and kidz were loosing body mass and mom could not find them for 2 weeks and then just as they reunited S8 got poisoned but WE chose to dedicate their air time to carving pumpkins for American viewers., Tintswalo happy they waled over to Djuma to vomit or bleed from snare but Allister is one of the main contributors to gossip about S8 that Cedric reiterates. Recently WE did fundraising for their own equipment so clearly when it comes filling their business needs not conservancy they are fully capable. WE also keeps trying to make the kidz to be older than they are- the two remaining are 23 or 24 months old. He also keeps saying 3, 31/2 and 4 year olds come into estrus and give birth. I watched for years, never saw such young lionesses come that early into estrus and in fact most coalitions kill them because they are too young just like PCs and Ndzengas did. N Avocas and Gijima spearing the young females is extraordinary not a norm. Also they were already a strong pride of 3 lionesses (none who were “old” - Matiba sired was 9 1/2 old when she was poisoned and euthanized in April 2023); and Selati sired in 2016 was 7 years old as ais this remaining lioness who turns 8 now- and if conservancy cared to investigate and raise alarm to stop using cheap rodents poison at one or all 3 lodges in the north, then this would never have happened and conservacy would have had a strong and competent pride for future generations of males but as it is, due to poor job they are doing there are less prides and adult female capable if raring young within the prides than there are males… years of neglect. Only nature can fix this appropriately and that would entail making all this a nature preserve with zero interference meaning no lodges only protection from others getting in and bringing tourists from outside in. It would be less costly too but that will never happen because they only care to fill up the lodges and keep lodges rats free from tourists and push guides to show big five with thinking they can always relocate lions from one area to another or bread them and release them but that will never be as successful as protecting the native prides.
Great breakdown. Would love these quarterly since u have Mandevu & RR sightings/updates. 💯
I asked for every 6 months but the way things progressing I think quarterly would be much better ❤
Hope to see no snare incidents this year, I trust that you guys are doing the best you can with available resources. Oh, and more leopard viewing please 😁
They are doing absolutely nothing, there are no anti poaching patrols there. They won’t even fix the broken fence.
@luvmyaussie9561 you absolutely don't even know what you're talking about. Manyeleti is all open borders connected to all the other reserves rights in middle.. Snare issues is a huge problem in South Africa I agree on that part.. locals sit snare for smaller game animals
@@luvmyaussie9561if you want get on a reserve get on most corrupt reserve . I is in South Africa. it's called sabi sands..how many lions have been saved from sabi??Manyeleti have save alot lions from snares and leopard in 10 yrs
@@luvmyaussie9561instead of crying how about you do something? Manyeleti have actually save alot animals from snare RR, ncila and several lioness in last 5 yr and leopards, too just name few
@@luvmyaussie9561Be part of the solution, not a fire starter.
Fantastic coverage in 2023 Tristan, I look forward to the Virtual Safari videos every week. Here's to some exciting sightings and action in 2024!
Love your episodes!! Thank you so much for making your beautiful space accessible across the world! Enjoy hearing the sounds of the bush and really find the game commentating informative and interesting!
Fantastic update on the lion pride dynamics. I enjoy your videos as there is variety plus character updates ☺️
I JUST WANT TO SEE AS MANY LION EPISODES THAT YOU CAN GET BECAUSE I LOVE LIONS FACTS
I love your videos! Lions are my favorite subject matter...IMO birds are my least favorite. But I enjoy listening to Tristan's narrative. He is very knowledgeable on all the prides, and their territory, and members! Thank you for that Tristan! Keep up the good work....
Absolutely love watching your episodes, very entertaining and tremendous wildlife camera shots. One point of feedback: quite often you mention lion prides and some locations in the park but I'm not familiar enough with the layout of the park to know where you're describing. It might be good during each of your safari episodes, when you mention a pride of lions or a location within the park, if you could also show a quick map with a highlight or pointer to identify where in the park you're seeing the animals. It just helps us watching at home put some perspective on the sighting as it relates to other prides or activities that you've discussed.
I love the Virtual Safari's;.. Would love to see more tracking of the lions & leopards. Thank you for sharing your 2023 Virtual Safari's with all of us
I also love tracking. As I understand it, the Trackers often go out earlier, because You often mention when You're on a sighting that it was the Trackers that found it. Be great if You could edit in some video of the Trackers at work. That's only if trackers like being in the bush with cameras and vehicles.
Thank you for all the updates on all things wild watching from South Florida USA
I’ve been following the virtual safari since the covid pandemic and it’s been fantastic! Out of the many virtual safaris I follow such as Londolozi and Mala Mala, yours is by far the best. Clear and engaging stories, regular videos and updates and a focus on the lions mixed with big game and birds is brilliant. I really enjoy the way you focus on the lion prides then around it cover all the other amazing wildlife you encounter while out on game drives. When I’m able to come out to the greater Kruger again (I was in the Klaserie reserve for a few days last year) I will be hoping to visit Tintswalo for sure! Hard to ask you to improve the virtual safari given how much time and effort you put in to it, keeping up the regularity of the videos is key and not sure if possible but live streaming sighting would be immense! Thanks
Hi you guys have really kept the flag flying with regular videos and updates allowing people to connect and follow the goings on in your little patch of Africa - Tristan I don’t know your background or qualifications but you seem to have a very creative and at times artistic perspective of the sightings and surroundings- so keep that up - are you allowed to utilise drones? I have had the good fortune of visiting Manyaleti and would really appreciate reference back to your reserve map as to where a lot of the dams and prominent landmarks are - looking forward to more videos thanks
Great update! Incredible story lines there! Get those poachers and snares out of there! Great work there. Love seeing a thriving lion population there.
More information. More video time more talking time . Teach . What u see why u see it that way the lot . Im with nature because of u lot i can only thank u from the bottom to the top of my heart . Your doing great i feel im there with u . All in all just keep doing what your doing
Thank you for asking for our feedback; you all are so knowledgeable that it is quite humbling to be asked to give our opinion!🌷
Personally I'd like if the filming lingered just a bit more on the lions. I can't get enough of their social dynamics😃 Might it be possible to point out particular identifying marks/traits/etc from lion to lion or pride to pride? I can't always tell the differences between them by name alone.
I'm personally not as interested in the insects. Elephants fascinate me as well.
Thank you for all that you do to bring us virtually into your awe-inspiring part of the earth! Blessings, health and peace to you in 2024, from New Jersey, USA🎉
Wonderful videos. So much so that I’m booking to stay with tintswalo lodge next year
Do you sight black backed jackals or honey badgers on a regular basis?
Please also mention more about the hyena clans
Firstly, Happy New Year to all of you!
I appreciate all you do, and love every video you post. They are always informative. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. 🙏
Thank you for all the updates on all things wild.
Happy New Year to you guys, Hey, great roundup of the Lion year, well explained, nicely edited. (maybe one on the Leopards?) thanks so much for all your postings,, it has given me, (from New Zealand), an intimate look in to the lives of the many big cats, and although living miles away, I can't help but have a genuine admiration and concern for them as they go through their triumphs and tragedies. .. and you keep vehicle sound to a minimal amount. .. thanks again and have a great 2024.
Looking forward to 2024!
We’ll done. You guys are the pros, so just keep it up that thing you do.
Thanks for all your hard work Tristan. A lot to like about the channel this year. Great camera work , some epic shots, super closeups, and scenery shots that give a real feeling of what it's like to be in the bush in Africa. I think the variety of wildlife has really shone through. It's great to see the big cats, hyena, elephants, wild dogs, but you have shown lots of other wildlife too, this gives a broader picture of what it's like to go on safari. There must be so much to see, unexpectedly, something different everyday. Some beautifully coloured birds I've never heard of, terrapins, insects, more of the same please, keep doing what you're doing :)
Wish gud year for Tintswalo boys and red road male ❤
I have loved your videos this year. I am big fan of Tristan as well. Thank you and all the best for 2024
These sorts of videos are really helpful!
You should get out there with a telescoping chair! But I love how you tell the real story of the land.
Other then more Lions, I'm pretty contend, you guys are doing an excellent job keeping us educated and entertained, thank you!
It would be nice to know more about the insects and stuff. I have always loved the virtual safari and I think you narrating is a very beautiful addition. You seem to know how to talk to the people. So great work. Keep up the awesome job. I hope this year brings happiness and peace and good health and success your way.
You guys are the best! Keep up the great work!
Love your videos. Y'all are doing great. These with the maps are very helpful and interesting.
Thanks for the information ❤
love to see everything. insects, birds, all animals. you are doing fantastic work. ❤❤❤. love lions. ❤❤
Love this virtual safari. I would like to see more birds and herbivores as well as other predators than lions. I know lions are a big draw, but they can be rather boring lying around, walking up the road over and over. You have done an awesome job saving the lions from snares. Do you save others as well?
Lindos adorável fofos bebês leonzinhos ❤❤❤😊
Very Nice sightings and i hope you Tristan stay as our guide in the virtual safari your are the best guide
Tank you and videos lions and park
I Love your channel. I want you to continue to keep an eye on the Talamati lioness and the cubs. Other then that, you do a fantastic job!!
I LOVE the lion updates! 2023 was crazy! Nothing about nkuhumas so they don’t come near tintswalo? I think they are in mala mala atm?
Was wondering if you could do the lion updates half yearly and start doing one for leopards as well? I also love seeing the animals filmed at eye level. I know it’s not easy but it’s great. Would love to see more birds especially birds of prey ❤ thanks for all you do 🎉
Tristan did mention that Mohawk and His Sons (Nkuhumas) did enter Manyeleti for a short time, but when Lions go into other areas the guides can't follow.
😊you guy's do a wonderful job thank you so much and looking forward to 2024 with you,God bless😊
Love the channel. I like the filming and commentary. Thank you, Jamie
Love the videos
I enjoy the episodes with a variety of wildlife! Thanks!
Tristan great information for 2023, I with love for you to speak up sometimes, your volume is very low. When you do the tinswalo males point out who is who because, for me, Meadevu and Ncile starting to look just alike., It is hard for me to know the difference. I would love for you guys, to check often that it will not be any more snares. Thank you very very much. I enjoyed
I would like to see a map with dots marking locations of the prides and dominat male lions to know more about where you are, to know more about the places and feeling more immersive with you in the virtual safari.
Drone footage?
A documentary of the lions and show the structure of different prides even how male take ova other prides.
I love❤️Lions!! They are so beautiful!! I feel terrible about the Lion 😢 that didn't make it.😢
A+ for 2023, like any nature lover ,I love the have the video be longer, like all day lol lol na, everything was great, just most of all, is to put out the correct information on what's going on , not that any of your films information was wrong or not true, but there's so many channels out there with bad or incorrect information on lion Dynamics or animal story's! so much area to cover and differnt things going on in Kruger, Sabi, timbavarti, and of course the great Red Road production ! that to me is the most important, is putting out the correct information that you have at that time! So anyway, Thank you for a great year , A+ like I stated , Happy New Year, stay safe and God bless to all !
Only TWO subadults: male and female are left along with old adult lioness in the Talamati Breakaway Pride.
Thanks guys for your videos, I really enjoyed them, I want to see Elephants, leapards, cheetahs, I love animals please if you see animals injured, can you help them
Great update thanks Man, i have a question about Mbiri Males i have watched them yesterday in very very very bad condition they are so skinny like never before do you know something about them? Second thing is This nasty TB is it possible to change some things and help them when possible. Thanks guys you are the Best 💪💪💪❤️
ZigZag and Shaka, the Mbiris, were likely in a fight with Mandevu and Ncile, and probably another fight with other males within last few weeks. Certainly either TB or some other illnesses or worms or other elements are impacting them, too. They are such characters and distinctive males, I hope they will stay strong and defend Birmingham for another 2-3 years.
I suspect they (managers, rangers) do hope lions will develop resistance against TB, but I don't see any proactive actions to fight it, nor I expect any.
P.S. I've never seen Tintswalo guides to reply to posts here, at least not recently.
When you say Skorro Pride, are you talking about the Mayanbula pride that has two Skorro males with them??
New subscriber. My only problem is not understanding some of the pride names being said; is it possible to slow down a bit so these unfamiliar names can be understood -- especially since (1) these are very unfamiliar to an American & (2) the slight accent makes it a bit harder to understand. Example, did you say the "Nari" pride had 4 cubs?
Suggestion: you might consider using a flat glass over the map because the glass causes a glare, making it somewhat difficult to see -- also maybe honing in a bit closer on the map when you point to a location. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. We will definitely pass this feedback on to the team.
Thank you, appreciate your response.
more sarfari tur
Plain camp males?
The talamati breakaway pride is down to one female , one male young sub adults , one female young sub adult. Very sad

Virtual Safari, the talamati breakway have only 2 youngsters left today, one of the 2 subadult male was kill by a unknow male, now only 1 adult female and 2 subadult left( 1 male and 1 female) all of this because of S8 demise😔😭
At least they looked lots better today! Hope the rest survive!
I really hope the mama/aunt and two sub-adults make it. I'm just so heartbroken over everything that has happened to them. S8 could have been saved. That is my opinion, and I'm sticking by it. I don't believe and will never believe it was TB like they claim.
If lodges didn’t use cheap and inappropriate rodent control poison then S8 and the TB lionesses who died in the same way too past April and June would not need saving- they did not die from natural causes. If they made a smidgen of effort to release the sole remaining lioness near her kids after removing the snare on oct 23 2024, and given them a jump start meal or two instead of watching mom and kidz miss eachother for two weeks while kidz were loosing nody mass and eating stick, then the kidz would have survived too. 4/4 or 💯 % of adult members taken down, none by natural causes, 3 exactly same symptoms from highly mobile and healthy to stationary vomiting and foaming from the mouths, quickly deteriorating and dying in 48-72 hours like rats. None of the five kidz died until all 4 of the adults were taken down so nothing to do with the pride itself - the lioness was hunting for kidz zebras, kudus buffalo until she was snared and a month later she still has bleeding from the corners of her mouth just like Ncile did, indicating she is in pain and does not have strength in the jaw to grab and suffocate the pray as she used to before the snaring. Very poor and negligent conservation efforts
@@karinajas I really don't want to think about it again, S8 was a warrior a just hope all our other solo kings don't fall victim to this and have such...painful and unfair death
