Nkuhuma Pride

[BA0701]

Khanya is still with them this afternoon, but now there seems to only be two lionesses with him, and the others, including Chela are nowhere to be seen. I'd assume that Chela is off to visit the cubbies. Guide said the BDM are still around, but they have a really large area to cover.

An aside, but the guide mentions he got to witness the Mapogo, said he saw one Mapogo single handidly keep about 30 hyena off a kill. But, he also mentions a group of 9 males from the Southern Pride, said that the Mapogo killed one of those males and scattered them, and he did not hear any more about them. Does anyone know of the males he is talking about? I don't recall hearing about 9 males from the Southern Pride, unless they went by a different name, and even then I definitely don't recall hearing about a coalition that was 9 strong, other than the Skybeds, and they were 10 deep.

Apologies for these edits, but in trying to get these lengthy videos shared with you all, I did not watch the entire video before sharing it. Towards the end of this video, the guide stated that he watched Khanya walk right up to the two lionesses, one of whom is Chela, and there was nothing, no growling, nothing. It seems strange that even when they leave they seem to be returning to where he is and laying near him. Guide also says, towards the end of the video, that he hears hyenas in the are area he believes the den site to be, and Chela is not reacting to it.
