@Raj8143 - I think you can find that info earlier in this thread, but here's a starter:

One of the best resources for lion information in the Timbavati has been Shindzela guide Johan Smalman. He always identifies the lions he photographs. Unfortunately he's moving to Australia, which is going to leave a gap for quality information. Yesterday he captured the Sumatra male with the Hercules pride at Shindzela. November 13, 2018

The Sumatra male was hanging out with the Hercules male earlier in the year, but perhaps he didn't want to stick around to mate with his mothers/sisters from the Hercules pride. Images by Dom Lawrence November 13, 2018

The three Machaton males are still 'macking' it at Balule Reserve and Mohlabetsi Lodge west of the Klaserie. It's funny how within lion coalitions there's always handsome lions who seldom get scarred, then there's the guys whose face reads like a road map.
The marks on this guys face show his hard fought path to dominance. Image by whoforgotthecorkscrew, November 13, 2018

Their territory also extends north to Pondoro Lodge where they control the Kudyela pride and cubs. Credit to Marius Zeilinga. The Machaton males were on a mission this week, even covering 20+ km one night marking their territory. They finally met up with the Kudyela lionesses and their cubs.

From Tintswalo: looks like some new males moving in that Tintswalo are calling the Orpen Males
The lions stole the show this week, with 5 different prides being seen and 3 different coalitions of males. An amazing sighting unfolded when the Nharu Pride managed to bring down a sub-adult giraffe only to have it taken over by the Mbiri Pride. The two prides fought aggressively over the giraffe and the sounds coming off the carcass were incredible. Some of the Nharu ran off but amazingly some stayed behind and fought, and then continued to feed on the remains of the giraffe with the Mbiris. No lions from either pride were injured. The Mbiri’s managed to bring down a large male buffalo only two days later, and kept up their reputation of being the ultimate hunting pride in the area.
The Talamati pride was seen in the south with one young Avoca Male on a wildebeest carcass.
The Koppies prides is looking great and were viewed on multiple occasions with the two males growing in stature and into an impressive size.
Another pride was viewed in the far north consisting of 7 females and 5 cubs - we will be referring to them as the Orpen Pride in future posts, and the 2 large males that move with them as the Orpen Males. These two males are very impressive and are moving further south into the reserve, becoming a threat to the Koppies males.
