I also thought they look to be from Skybed lineage. In fact when I saw the location being Satara and the photo of the first male, I pictured the Mayambulas themselves, though he was too young to be a Mayambula.
Interesting if these 4 are sons of the Skybed sons.

Is this true? The post says that it is confirmed by rangers but I don't know if I can believe it. OMG, this is so very, very sad. How unfair that those 2 females overcame great odds, only to lose their lives with their precious cubs. The Mjejane Pride deserved better treatment. I wonder what happened to the lone sub that was not relocated?! He was quite young, eh? Maybe he can make it to save their bloodline.  (

Something could have happened to his partner, the young Avoca Male, because he was seen limping heavily in their last update together. He could have lost another partner to severe injury. Lions that injured can get caught easily by another coalition....

I hate to say I knew this was going to be the case, but I knew this was going to be the case. Any lions sent to North Kruger were basically paid for. As soon as they are sent, they are dead, and parts sent off to wherever the money came from.
That lukimbi sub was under 2 he probably died. Hippo pools pride still has a few lioness that weren't relocated they are seen recently near Marloth. Lukimbi pride i think that Gardenia pride maybe a split from lukimbi originally but not sure.

For what is known, they sired 3 Mazithi/Tshokwanes (some say 2/3, that dark maned male is older), 3 "young" Mazithis, possibly 5 Trichardt males (although only speculation) and possibly Mazithi Dam male.  *This image is copyright of its original author Remaining male should be one on the right, he has cut on his nose.

February report by Singita Kruger: https://singita.com/2025/02/singita-krug...uary-2025/
Lions ● On the second of this month, the Shish Pride finally returned after more than six weeks away, teasing us with only their tracks near the Mozambican border. All 14 were accounted for initially, but now they seem to have split up. The reasons are only speculative, but there have been tracks and audio for male lions nearby, as well as the Mananga Pride, and potentially Sonop males, in the area the Shish Pride was last seen. Due to the fact that a few of the Shish Pride cubs are still under two years old, they are still vulnerable to attack by any unrelated males, and this is why their movements are erratic, unpredictable and keep us guessing as to where they might be. One evening we even encountered them on the road just south of our staff village, a twenty- minute drive from the lodge. A few days later they were back on our concession boundary (S41). ● Three adult Shish females and one sub-adult are spending their time on/near to our concession, whereas the remaining ten, have moved further west, resting in the early hours on the H6 past the Sonop waterhole. ● The Mananga Pride spent the first week around the central areas near prominent drainage lines before heading back west out of our concession. With the extraordinary amount of rain received so far this season, all of the pans, even the slightest depressions made from elephants stepping into soft mud, are holding water. The grass has grown, trees are fruiting, and this means that most animals have dispersed, making hunting that much more challenging. Where one might think the lions have an advantage of increased cover, they themselves cannot even see above the tall grass and their prey cleverly stick to open areas to avoid ambush. ● Towards the end of the month, they returned to their usual hunting grounds around the sticky thorns, and headed back west, out of our concession. The grass just west of our boundary road is shorter, attracting more general game. And this is why we believe they, as well as the Shish Pride, are spending more time in those areas. ● The Chava Pride’s two older cubs, now almost a year old, have been spotted by themselves around the N4. We have not seen the newest cubs again since last month, but it is not uncommon for mothers to move den sites to prevent parasite build up. ● The three Sonop males seem to have officially settled in the north-western sections of our concession, taking advantage of the plethora of game on the short-grassy plains north of the Gudzane Dam.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author The (Muntshe Three tooth/ Tyson ) AKA Gomondwane pride male lion mating with Gomondwane lioness early Jan 2014 .Pictures Created by Endless Summer Tours
Hello Rabubi if I remember it correctly both shish pride and mananga pride were controlled by 2 trichardt males right so are the cubs in both pride sired by the 2 deceased males?
