I think the following have been accounted:

- Kambula Sub Adult Group of 4M and 1F - seen in Sabi Sabi, presumed to be Safe

- Kambula Breakaways of K3 and 2F Subs - conflicting reports.  some said accounted for, but later brought into doubts; there is a sighting reported to be of the 2 Gijimas following K3.  No mention of her Sub Adults.

- Kambula 2 (formerly part of the breakaways) - also conflicting reports.   First said to be looking for den sites.  Then later brought into doubts.


Kambula Core:
- K1 - seen w at least 5 cubs accounted for today
- K4 - unaccounted for 
- K5 - seen at same sighting as K1
- K6 - unaccounted for 

- KYFs 2/2 daughters of K1 - seen w their mother and cubs (above)
- KYFs 2/2 daughters of K2 - unaccounted for
- KYF daughter of K3 - unaccounted for 


If anyone has more information, please share.

UPDATE AS OF 9 MARCH :

think the following have been accounted:

- Kambula Sub Adult Group of 4M and 1F - seen in Sabi Sabi, presumed to be Safe

- Kambula Breakaways of K2 , K3 and 2F Subs - 

- K3 has been sighted but not with any of the Sub Adults

- Kambula 2 (formerly part of the breakaways) - a sighting of her with K3 was shared but no date of when taken was given.   More info to follow. 


Kambula Core:
- K1 - seen w at least 5 cubs accounted for today
- K4 - unaccounted for 
- K5 - seen at same sighting as K1
- K6 - unaccounted for 

- KYFs 2/2 daughters of K1 - seen w their mother and cubs (above)
- KYFs 2/2 daughters of K2 - one daughter sighted w her 5 cubs safe.   Second daughter was identified as one of the dead lionesses 
- KYF daughter of K3 - unaccounted for 

There’s a FB post making circulation that apparently includes a sighting of K6.   If true and current, then she now becomes accounted for.

Secondly, KYF daughter of K3 has also been sighted w her own cubs safe. 

This leaves the following not fully accounted for since the news of deaths:

- K4 lioness (she’s the mother of the 5 boys litter) same lioness that gave birth in front of cameras seen w only 4 of the cubs in her last sightings. 

- K2 Lioness - member of the Breakaways, last seen pregnant with conflicting reports of more recent sightings but can’t confirm date of most recent sighting.  

- two Sub Adult daughters of K3, youngest of the Birmingham offsprings Reply
