I don't think that these males are Bboys, Mfumo is the youngest of the coalition, the male resting his head is oldest (look the mane) of this group.

Mfumo is younger but he is also the biggest of the birmingham males. His mane was the last to darken and he has a pinker nose. I am pretty sure that's him, the male resting his head on the other.

After a quick sundowner we headed back towards the lodge and bumped into a one of the Birmingham Male lions and two Nkuhuma females. This allowed us an opportunity to get some great backlit and side lit images using spotlights. The male seemed interested in one of the females and followed her about.

At Close Quarters:
This morning we headed out and drove towards the Manyaleti boundary in search of some lions. We soon found some tracks that were made early the night before. We followed the tracks and soon found some very fresh ones. A few minutes down the road, we found them, 3 lions walking towards us. They moved onto a large termite mound and posed beautifully for us. Shortly thereafter, they headed into some longer grass and contact called, lifting their heads above the grass, this made for some stunning images. We then found a zebra carcass nearby, it had been injured by lions about two weeks ago. Something had killed the weak animal and had eaten part of it during night.
