Visitors to the South Luangwa National Park have been blessed recently with heart-melting sightings of three little lion cubs, a real highlight of every African safari!

It is the latest offspring of South Luangwa’s iconic male lion coalition Ginger and Garlic, who share a rather extraordinary bond of brotherly love and actively breed and raise cubs in their conjoint territory.

As both male lions share the mating rights with females of their prides, it is hard to make conclusions of which lion is the biological father of the present litter. Both lions seem to tolerate and interact with the cubs in a gentle and non-threatening manner.

This is quite an unusual arrangement within the lion kingdom, as male lions are notorious to kill the offspring sired by other males in order to spread their own genetics.

Like all children, the South Luangwa cubs love to play and recently made for an amazing sighting when teasing their dad (or maybe step-dad?) Ginger, who couldn’t resist but joining the game.

The battle for dominance continues to heat up at Kwandwe!


After following the sound of a lion roaring early this morning Marc,Nic and I were were taken completely by suprise as first the Dark Male and then the South Male came trotting right past us in hot pursuit! The South Male chased the Dark Male intitially before they had one brief scuffle and the tables turned and he was chased back the way they had come. Some distance later and clearly both exhuasted they both lay down some distance apart in a stalemate as the temperature increased.

Guess where we're going this afternoon......

Look at the length of that horn!


RE: Lion pictures and videos - Spalea - 12-20-2017

About #969: As concerns the length of the horns, we cannot compare the Asian rhinos and the African rhinos... Absolutely not. And this rhino, followed by her cub is more than probably a female.

That horn appears to be several feet long, and quite sharp. Any info out there on max. horn lengths for rhino's?
