Re: Day trips to Marakele
Obviously, there were lions before 2013.Media Release: Marakele National Park welcomes two new lions
06 May 2014
These cats, which are both males, arrived in the Park in March 2014 and were kept in a boma to acclimatise to the new surroundings and strengthen the bond with one another. Their translocation followed on the two male lions that were trans-located to Marakele National Park in 2013 from Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Pilanesberg Nature Reserve respectively. Â âAlthough this will increase the lion population in the park, the main aim is to diversify the gene poolâ said Johan Taljaard, Park Manager at Marakele.
Equally exciting as the translocation of these four lions to the park, was the arrival of four lion cubs last December, which brings the total number to 23. Apart from the translocation of lions, eleven buffalo were trans-located late last year and another ten earlier this year with two buffalo calves arriving at the start of summer, which brings the total buffalo complement to 38. âWe trust that these developments in the park will continue to make Marakele National Park the favourite destination of choiceâ concluded Taljaard.Â

Thanks, Lis
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
