Ancient, indigenous wisdom
According to indigenous wisdom, the White Lions’ arrival at this particular moment in time and in this particular location is not coincidental. Indigenous people across the globe believe that everything in nature happens for a reason, and it is significant to note that the prophecies surrounding the White Lions correspond with the beliefs of ancient cultures on other continents. In fact, Zulu shamans and other African elders view the White Lions’ arrival in the wilderness as the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, identifying these majestic creatures as "angelic messengers from God." African elders believe that the White Lions are the most sacred animals on the African continent and are here to deliver a sacred message for humanity during these times of great crisis. As an apex predator, the lion is viewed as the true guardian of the land; the White Lion, in particular, is believed to be the "King of Kings," an angelic guardian presiding over this sacred site, who has a a vital role in the sensitive ecology of this region and beyond.
Though sightings of White Lions were first reported in the 1930s, scientists were unable to document their existence until they were spotted again in the mid 1970s. It is not clear exactly when the White Lions re-emerged, but by all accounts, this is a recent occurrence, and legend has it that the White Lions are, in fact star, beings who came to our planet for specific spiritual purposes. Indeed, the name of this area—"Tsimba-vaati”—is derived from the ancient Shangaan language and means “the place where star lions came down from the heavens.”
For many centuries, African kings identified the lands of Timbavati as a protected area. It falls on the Nile meridian (31 degrees East), a ley line which is also referred to as "Zep Tepi," believed to be the spot at which life first emerged on the planet. This area also happens to be exactly aligned with the great Sphinx of ancient Egypt, a representation of the fusion of human beings and lions, both considered to be at the apex of their respective kingdoms.
Whether one believes in these legends or not, when in the presence of the White Lions, one cannot dispute that they are both majestic, and some would even say, magical. And spending time with them on their homelands of Timbavati is truly an unforgettable, life-changing experience.
