Nharhu Male Lions

[T I N O]

The River Pride featured rather prominently in our sightings last week, which was fantastic.  The pride went on a very successful run of hunting, with three kills in three successive nights (an impala, followed by two zebras).  Despite their fat bellies, the pride remained surprisingly mobile, something that has seemingly become the norm since the loss of five of their six cubs (check out our latest Sofa Safari on our Youtube channel where I discuss their fate a little more). Their movements kept taking them to the north of the concession for a couple of days at a time, before their inevitable return and the roars of the three Nharhu males that so often woke us in the early morning hours during lockdown now feel like a distant memory.
