So we had the S8 Male heading east, the guide said he was highly mobile and they thought the Avocas had come north to chase him out as they heard a male lion roaring in the south, the S8 Male was roaring too but eventually turned north and went back into buffelshoek. He was sniffing the ground and following the clipped ear Talamati lioness who also went into Buffelshoek.

The second guide followed the sound of the other lion roaring and found Dark Mane at Tree House Dam, with tracks of a lioness but she wasn't around. He eventually moved from Tree house dam to twin dam where he rested.

I guess guides and us dont exactly know which roars did Imbali male heard, Mohawk and Blondie with Nkuhumas where on WE in Djuma just day before Imbali male was seen there, so they should be still around or near by. 

They found DM, but did DM roar? Thats the real question.

DM didn't roar on camera but he definitely wasn't bothered by the presence of S8 so close either. The guides said they were roaring all morning so I'm sure DM was roaring too, you could tell S8 knew DM was really close because of the way S8 was behaving. Great seeing DM standing up to S8, the S8 male seems massive and in perfect condition btw, I wouldn't be surprised if he was the biggest male in Sabi Sands right now. Reply
