Greater Kruger Champion - regal, scarred warrior and what an amazing lion to meet on safari.

One of the most triumphant coalitions in the Greater Kruger region. Holding prime territory in the heart of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve for several years now, Socha and his coalition partner Hosi have just sired more cubs with special secretive sights of the newcomers being introduced to the pride. Having sired at least 21-23 cubs to date, these impressive lions are the definition of a successful lion coalition.

Tanda Tula update

On the big cat front, we enjoyed some great sightings.  Sadly, the Giraffe Pride did not venture back into our concession this week, but the Mayambula Pride parked themselves off at Park Pan on our very eastern boundary and had their eight cubs on display which was a treat to say the least.  I made the long trip on a couple of occasions and was rewarded with time spent with the quickly growing bundles of energy!

The lionesses and the two males were also quite active around the den, but most of them opted to move off when the cubs came close, leaving the patient mothers to deal with their boundless energy.  When mom wasn’t game, they turned on one another, or resorted to climbing trees.  They weren’t the only ones active around the den, and Thumbela leopardess was seen near the den on two occasions.  The River Pride were also active in the north east, and we saw them on a couple of occasions.

Civilized and his guests were lucky enough to arrive at one particular sighting just after the pride had caught a large warthog late in the morning.  Later in the week the pride were seen again after having chased Nyeleti up a tree on the banks of the Nhlaralumi, but due to the fact that the tracks indicated that her cubs were in the area, the guides decided to close the sighting so as not to put any of the cats at risk.  We also found the Ross and Hercules lionesses resting on our access road to the east of Plains Camp – they popped into our area for a a quick visit but had disappeared again by the afternoon.

The Giraffe and Monwana male also killed a small buffalo at our camp but the Giraffe male eventualy took most of the meat away from the limpy Monwana that is not strong enough.

Yes, only older 3 Myambula females gave birth so far, but according to ranger from RockFig, the younger Myambula females (Mbiri daughter) are mating as well so there will be probably much more cubs in not distant future. Myambula pride will be massive pride soon.

That's awesome. Definitely the Mayambula pride is going to be a massive pride. With the current number of females, the cubs will grown in good condition

Not sure who this lioness is at Kubli house, Thornybush. But she should be ashamed of herself lol
