This is the distance a human would travel between the two positions.  

Kirkmans is Avoca territory to Hamilton’s where guide said was near the sightings.

This doesn't surprise me.  These lions initially traveled from Avoca Territory all the way down to the SE portion of Sabi Sands....an even longer trip in their nomadic years.  They do not lack confidence or initiative, especially for duos.  There are always greener pastures elsewhere and plenty of lionesses.....  Even if they never hold another territory for any length of time, you can see that at least they will court and mate as much as possible, possibly getting those genes transferred.  Ten years old and still looking quite fit.
