The leader of once the famous and ruthless Mapogo coalition!
Makhulu resting after going on a territorial patrol at Arathusa Safari Lodge... As per some of the Sabi Sands rangers. Makhulu had one of the most impressive and longer roars that they haven't heard before!

One of the five good looking West Street male lions (Mapogo fathers). No doubt that this beautiful specimen is Kinky Tail father!

That's a really sad tale, thank you for sharing that @"TinoArmando"

Khimbini Hlongwane: March 2012.
This is one of the most favourite member of Mapogo group of lions : As I look back at the beginning he was never just an ordinary lion, he was full of character,complex and often got completely misunderstood by human race, forgetting that he was a lion being a lion. RIP I will always cherish the time I spent with you and the little I learnt from you about lion world.

Anytime my friend. I love the Mapogo coalition much as you.
Their behavior and the way how they conquered I didn't see in any coalitions currently and in the past as well.
Born to be a legend and never be forgotten

One of the infamous Mapogo sons from the Othawa pride.
Both males have went into Kruger National Park in 2012.
