"The golden light warmed us up yesterday afternoon after all the saturating rain...including the mating pair (Selati male and Ximhungwe female) who were far more active and soaking it all up!"
A light maned Selati 3 and Ximhungwe female back in 2012:

The younger Selati brothers
The two beautiful youngest Selatis can be seen in this video roaring and making it clear who the authorities in the west of Sabi Sand are.
In the start of the video we can see Selati 4 and soon after Selati 3 lying down, who gets up and starts roaring!

Specialist buffalo hunters

"Schooled in the south east, roughly 40 kilometres away from here, amongst the herds of buffalo along the Sabie river, these males are experts at confronting the most formidable prey species Africa has to offer, head on!"

"We were privileged to witness the below sequence along the Sand river a few days ago, most likely their first buffalo kill here in the west."
