Dark Mane Fourways male with Mazithi female:





Its confirmed now by Big On Wild that Fourways/Torchwood coalition expand to Mazithi Dam area and took Mazithi pride in the past few months.

These guys are definetly worth keeping eye on, 2 Fourways males just only turned 6 yrs old and just entered their prime years, with Torchwood male, they are already dominant around Leeupan area for about 1,5 yrs and now expanding.

All 3 males are brutes, Dark Maned Fourways looks like one of the more impressive males in Kruger with his dark mane and dark skin.

 Fourways male has one of the darkest manes i’ve ever seen for a 5-6 yrs old lion, definitely one of the most impressive specimen of all of Kruger.

What is the name of the pride that is in the Leeupan area and do they have cubs or have had cubs with these guys? I was at Leeupan at the end of July and saw two lionesses in the open viewing area where vehicles park to overlook the waterhole and I have to say they were absolute units; incredible condition, extremely muscular and some of the biggest lionesses I can remember coming across.

With the size of these males I can imagine males born to that lineage with such mothers that survive to adulthood are likely to be absolute brutes.


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Brahim - 01-11-2022

Leeupan pride and yeah they had cubs with those Torchwood/Fourways males since at least November/December 2020. Leeupan pride consists of 9 lioness and 5 cubs early last year not sure how many youngsters now.

Singita KNP update
  • A portion of the Shish pride, one adult and three sub-adult females have been sighted on a number of occasions in the southern part of our concession. One of the sub-adult females has taken on a personality of her own which involves a lot of sass and play, which is remarkable to observe and see her coming into her own.
  • The Mananga pride have established their territory firmly in the north-west part of our concession, and their cubs are growing both in size and wisdom.
  • What we believe to be the Northern pride have been, as their name suggests, sighted on a number of occasions in our northern parts of our concession.
  • The newly founded coalition consisting of the experienced Kumana male and the strong Maputo male have been seen more apart than together in the month of December, but closer to the end of the month this changed and when observed, there seemed to be no tension between them. The Kumana male has also been seen on a number of occasion with some of the females from the Shish pride and, on 30 December, a Shish female was seen with the Kumana and Maputo male and three very young cubs around the granophyre’s, giving us hope that the once dominant pride in the south are on the journey to rebuild their pride numbers.
  • The Xhirombe male has been seen across the Mozambican fence enjoying water that flowed from drainage lines in South Africa into Mozambique.
  • The Mountain pride is still 11 strong and have been seen on a number of occasions in the north eastern mountainous parts of our concession, looking like they are in great condition. They have managed to consistently maintain their pride numbers between 10 and 12 for the beginning of the year until now, even with the losses they have endured this year.
  • The two Shishangaan males have been seen on a number of occasions patrolling their territory and also spending time with the Mananga pride. We have not seen them in the presence of the Mountain pride this month, as they have focused their energy on the Mananga pride who still have very young cubs (younger than four months old).
  • Two unknown young males were seen feeding on a giraffe carcass in the far north western parts of our concession with innumerable vultures and some hyenas descending for their share once the males left, which created an eerie symphony enjoyed by spectators.

Theres 4 Imbali males in a coalition??

Are you sure that male on photo 3 is part of them? He was always seen alone.


RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Brahim - 01-12-2022

@Tr1x24 Not sure if they all together. Just that they are the Imbali boys it seems. But they are all close. 4th boy.
