Quite a raw image, but that is nature! A Gowrie Coalition male takes his turn to feed on a Cape buffalo kill. An older buffalo bull which could have easily weighed 1,500 lbs. All 10 lions of the Gowrie Coalition and Kambula Pride fed on this kill.

Both the Birmingham males and the Ntsevu lionesses continue to vocalise and patrol through the heart of Londolozi, while the Tsalala female has been popping in and out of the Sand River.

A large male lion from the Birmingham coalition is distracted by a go-away bird as it flies overhead, and he looks up for the briefest of moments. Up until this point the lions had been scarce and we found ourselves searching the four corners of the reserve. This lion stood on Plaque rock, sniffing the breeze in search of his brothers. Sometimes the very best sightings happen at the very last minute.

Fellow guide James Souchon, trails behind a male lion from the Birmingham coalition and a female from the Ntsevu pride as they roar into the crisp morning air. The sound can carry up to 8 km (5 miles) on a cool morning, reaching 114 decibels at a distance of one meter. It’s something both first-time safari goers and safari veterans never fail to appreciate.

It’s all about those eyes. I was staring at this beautiful lion as it was sleeping, just waiting for him to open his eyes.

Malamala Lion Sightings. Credit: Malamala Game Reserve.
August 31st - One of the lioness from the Kambula pride and her 3 cubs treated us to a playful sighting at their den near Maxim’s Lookout. The other 5 lionesses and 3 Gowrie/Birmingham males were found in front of Rattray’s Camp. Later in the day they met up with the 6th lioness and we followed them on the hunt along the lower reaches of the Matshapiri River. The Sand River pride have finished off their buffalo kill and spent the day near Charleston Rock. An Avoca male and a Mantimahle male were seen separately in Charleston.
August 30th - 3 of the Gowrie males and all 6 lionesses from the Kambula pride spent most of the day in the Sand River in front of Sable Camp. The Styx pride were at Mlowathi Dam.
August 28th & 29th - The lioness from the Kambula pride that is denning near Maxim’s Lookout was viewed on both days with her 3 cubs- they also had a Gowrie male for company.

Another 2 Kambula lionesses and 2 Gowrie males were in central Flockfield. The Avoca males and the young lioness from the Eyrefield pride were seen together on both days near Calabash Crossing. The only surviving lioness from the Marthly pride was seen in Marthly.
August 25th-27th - The 6 lionesses from the Kambula pride, 3 cubs and the Gowrie males accounted for 6 of the sightings.
August 23rd & 24th - Yet again the bulk of sightings comprised of the 6 lionesses from the Kambula pride, 3 cubs and 3 of the Gowrie males.
