Few months ago the KK video says all six were often seen there, not necessarily together 
But as u say, thats likely a splitting process. Maybe a different pride under their control in Kruger, perhaps the Plains Camp females?

Im hoping to see something on #4 sooner or later, hopefully still alive and well. But as each passing day my hopes are lower and lower.

They've been getting bolder so Gijimas will have some tuff times ahead.
Hopefully both coalitions can not engage at useless confrontations, but from what it looks like:
Nkhulus are already quite interested in Gijima males territory. 
Going full force deep in their territory was enough prove of that.

Fortunately for the Gijimas, the Nkhukus are not 100% healthy indeed.
2 out of the core 4 are limping with their usual skinny hips, ofc better than a few months ago but still not in perfect shape, and i honestly doubt they ever will get to such.

If Gijimas remain bold and assertive in their approach, im certain they can handle the Nkhulus for quite some time, unless the four brothers all of a sudden turn a key and decide they wont run when outnumbering their adversaries no more. Reply
