I know there isn’t a lot of information about lions in the way north of Kruger, but one of the largest prides (as of 2019) was found up near the Boyela watering hole.
Follow Boyela Pride Drinking (Credit: Peter Betts) “The largely unknown but largest pride of lions in Kruger >> the Boyela Pride with over 30 members whereas the pretender to the throne the S100 White Lion Pride only has about 20 lions. I found them this morning drinking at the Mpholongo River 1 km from the Sirheni Turn off about 7 kms from Boyela Windmill in the golden hour just after sunrise.“  *This image is copyright of its original author Not too much info on their males but this could be one of them (credit: Kruger-to-Kalahari, Jan 2020)  *This image is copyright of its original author

The Boyela pride over the years has been a super pride that is divided into smaller sub-groups (separated to be able to hunt), some of the people usually call it by different names; Boyela/Mpholongo/Sirheni/Babalala/Magamba as that is the territory of this mega pride, in 2017 the Boyelas had more than 55 members, have a large number of dispersed descendants currently .
@titose Good to know! Do you know anything about the territorial males in that area?
I read somewhere that the lion population in the north is similar to the south (based on data from the 70s- this might have changed), and they don’t have a wide spread issue with bovine TB yet.

The dominant males of this area and about this pride (Boyela), call them the Boyela brothers, are a coalition formed by 3 huge males that ruled from the S56/H17 to the Dnzundzwini viewpoint, but now they have moved further north and have been seen from the S57, To the south it is dominated by the males Mozambique or Kanniedood one of them is easy to identify since it carries a radio collar and to the north they have the males Bobomeni which is a coalition of 6 huge males ( I have almost no information about them). ...
