I'm sharing a slightly improved version Tsalala-Mangheni-Kambula family tree, adding the contributions that I received. Info from recet sightings was considered.
Note that it is impossible to include all lions that have been born, so you can see:
- Adults with offspring or regular member of a pride.
- Emblematic individuals  
- Current subadults (>2 years old)
- Current cubs (<2 years of age)

I recommend you to download the image to read more crearly. Hope you like it.

First of all, an excellent diagram which encompasses over two decades of some of the most renowned prides and coalitions of the Sabi Sands. These lions have perhaps formed the core of the lion population in Sabi Sands so very interesting to see them in one diagram.

Couple of things which I wanted to point out. I think the 2018 generation is missing the K11 female. I believe she passed away in 2023 incident along with K1 and K4. Maybe she got left out because she had no offspring but would be nice to see her in there so that we get a complete picture of that iconic generation (12 individuals all reaching maturity and thriving!).

Another question was about the K2 female. She is currently part of the Ntsevu pride but her 2023 cub is listed as a Kambula member. Was that a mistake or did she abandon her cub during the pride split?

Finally, a lot of the subs and cubs have been grouped together, perhaps for the sake of making the diagram easier to read. But do you know the exact mothers of the 5 Kambula subs grouped under K7 and K10 and the 4 subs in the Mangheni pride? Reply
