Now that they have claimed the territory, the Ndhzenga Males are infiltrating the Ntsevu Pride with the hopes of siring their own cubs in the coming months.

[i]With the arrival of the new males in town, the Ntsevu Lionesses have taken a little bit of time adjusting to their presence, and now this one female has been seen alongside a male for the last ten days or so. Here she is lying in the long grass in a large clearing about 40m from the male.[/i]

Mala Mala December:

For the second consecutive month, the Ndhzenga males were the most viewed male lions on the reserve. Two males were in the Sand River south of West Street on the 3rd. Three lionesses from the Kambula pride were on West Street Bridge. The two males chased the three lionesses north to the Airstrip. Three males were together at Mlowathi Koppies the following day. As night fell, the males started to roar, chasing the sub-adults from the Kambula pride eastwards out of the area. One male was at Princess Alice Pans on the 5th. The following day this male was north of Flockfield Tower. On the 7th, a male was near Drum Crossing, and in the afternoon, he was on an impala kill near Maurice's Pans. Three males were mating with a lioness from the Kambula pride near Kapen Breakfast Spot on the 12th. One male was at Charleston North Crossing on the 18th, while a second was further north of him. Two males were on the Airstrip on the 26th. The following day they were near Charleston North Crossing. One male was with two lionesses from the Kambula pride on the Airstrip, while a second male was south of Princess Alice Pans on the 30th.

Three lionesses and 11 cubs of the STYX PRIDE were with two Ndhzenga males around Trollips Camp on the 27th.

Can anyone share what are the recent sightings of Gore?   Seems these brothers are all scattered about?

Well, expanding their territory into larger one will do that (larger territory, larger area to patrol and thats easier to do in smaller gruops) , on top of that they are seeking and mating with new females (Kambulas), so often males are trying alone to find female, because then they avoid competition with their brothers. 

But i dont think they are scattered, 3 are often seen together in MalaMala/Londolozi, for some reason Gore rarely joins (prob because of his injury, he is less confident and sticks to his known areas).

According to Sabi Sabi, he was seen walking on 15th January, though they didn't have an opportunity to photograph him. 
No news about his condition or anything like that.

When you arrive early at the airstrip and get comfortable, eager to tuck into a chapter or two of a new book before your guests arrive… Only to be ‘interrupted’ by the Ndhzenga males who want their share of the shade!

Amahle seems to have almost the same injury as DM, I'm not seeing an improvement either and it seems permanent to me.
