Imbali lodge posted a video of the "einstein pride/imbali breakaway" I asked them if the pride male was the same male who rules the Imbali pride and this was their response

This guy should be careful. He is big but he is not going to win a fight against the 3 Tinstswalo males together.

I hope he doesn't end up like OM

Imbali update

The Imbali Pride:
Apart from a few really good sightings, it has been a relatively quiet month for the Imbali Pride. As we mentioned last month, the disappearance of the Pride is a natural response to the sudden increase in unknown male lions in the area. We hope that they will be more frequently spotted when the smallest of the cubs perhaps get a bit bigger and will be less vulnerable to the threat from intruding males.


The Einstein Pride (Imbali Breakaways):
It was a relatively quiet month for the Einstein Pride as well—largely due to the increase in unknown lion activity in the central and western parts of the Concession near Imbali Safari Lodge. Since the Einstein male linked up with the younger male last month, we have not had any sightings of him. As the Einstein Pride also has cubs at the moment, we suspect that that Pride’s females are still very cautious of this new young male and are preventing him from getting too close to the Pride. As the cubs grow older, it may be more likely that Einstein and the younger male will re-join them.


The Hamiltons Pride:
The Hamiltons Pride is comparatively doing quite well and is frequently spotted in the eastern parts of the Concession. The stability of this Pride’s activities is largely attributed to the constant presence of Blondie and Madala who—despite being towards the end of their prime ages—are still in excellent condition. Blondie and Madala have definitely been busy when it comes to mating with the females. In some exciting news, there may be 3 brand new cubs who are being stashed away near Hamiltons Tented Camp. One of our guides spotted them in the early morning on the 30th of June 2021. We will be sure to update you next month with more information!


The Talamati Pride:
Given the everchanging lion dynamics in the area, we rarely manage to spend time with the Talamati Pride who once was a frequent presence in the northern reaches of the Concession. However, we were very lucky this month to have an excellent sighting of them just north of Pod Mahoganies on our western boundary with Manyeleti Game Reserve.


The Torchwood Pride:
It is always a joy to spend time with these visitors to the Concession! We enjoyed a lovely sighting with them at KNP corner before they crossed back into the Sabi Sand Wildtuin.

Oh the imbali pride has sub-adults? Decent sized males

Imbali male was seen with them since mid 2019, so thats about the age of those subadults..

That also was the pride they where talking about on WildEarth that was seen on Buffelshoek, and not Torchwood pride..

They said 23 members of which where 2 dominant males on WE, here they said 21 members but no males here, so thats the same numbers. 

It looks like Imbali male found a coalition partner, from latest reports from Mulwati Concession he was seen in company of younger male couple of times.

Hope we can see pictures of that male soon.
