It was a misty morning when we came across fresh tracks for four male lions moving towards Earth Lodge. We followed the tracks until we found them all on the move trailing what seemed to be the scent of buffalo nearby. They eventually lay down as the day started to warm up and the sun burnt the clouds away.
The N'waswitshaka males! What a beast of male lions they are. They really have grown a lot on size and their mane now is looking much better. These boys are the most formidable force in the South of Sabi Sands. 
Information by Sabi Sabi: All 4 were together. We were unable to get closer to them in this sighting but will follow up with them on safari now.

Brothers in arms.
 Male lions typically live in coalitions. The stronger the coalition, the longer they are able to hold territories – which also helps ensure the survival of their cubs and bloodline.

Definitely have that confidence of territorial males around them now. Didn't think the Nw's would stick around but happy to be proven wrong.

This male and female pair were lounging about at the waterhole in front of Bush Lodge.  In the dwindling piece of shade they lay, slowly being exposed little by little to the heat of the sun as it rose. Eventually, the female had had enough and got up to find a better piece of shade, but she must be on heat because with a flirtatious flick of her tail, the male was in hot pursuit. Completely focused on her before starting to mate.

A wonderful sight in front of Bush Lodge as one of the N’waswishaka male lions quenched his thirst.

None of the nwaswishaka males strike me as large lions. Is there any estimated on their weights/size?

A) Till now no.

They're still pretty young to determine how big they will be. As well their lives wasn't easy as the Othawa male or the Torchwood young male. That's is why they look so good at the age of 5 and 4 years old. 
Some of the N'waswitshaka males look like that are very long males and bulky... An example, The gored male look like a long male.

Acording to Sabi Sabi they are smaller than Birmingham males. That is bassicly only think we can say in regards of comparison of their body size to other male lions in Sabi Sands.

Obviously, This makes sense because the Birmingham males are matured  males and the N'waswitshaka are much younger than them
