This one started ordinarily enough. Wild dogs cruising through Londolozi and a torturous morning with the Three Rivers Female, just out of reach
The kind of week I’ve had a hundred times before.
And then word came through on the radio that one of the largest lions on this reserve had been found with some pretty serious injuries. I set off in the afternoon to go and play detective, the goal of trying to piece it all together. And if I am honest with you, I thought it would be pretty self-explanatory and would align perfectly with my theory. After a decent amount of time out here, you start to feel like you can read a situation pretty quickly.
Safe to say, I was wrong.
There are still parts of this story I can’t fully explain. There’s evidence that doesn’t quite add up. And the conclusion I eventually had to accept is one of those reminders that no matter how long you spend out here, the bush will keep finding ways to put you in your place.
There’s also a small but important update on the Xinkhova Female near the end of the episode. A standalone special edition is coming in the next few days, so stay tuned for that.
Press play. Come along for the ride.
