This is my first time posting one of these reports, so my formatting seems off, sorry.

THE NDHZENGA MALES = 2

1 ADULT MALE ± 9 YEARS 6 MONTHS

1 ADULT MALE ± 9 YEARS 1 MONTH

WESTERN MALAMALA, FLOCKFIELD & CHARLESTON

Dominant over the Kambula.

First Encountered on MalaMala September 2020

(15 sightings)


There were fewer sightings of the Ndhzenga males this month, once again spending more of their time

with the Kambula pride than the Ntsevu Pride. This month they were challenged from the south by

the Nkuhlu coalition, but still managed to maintain their large territory.


Noteworthy sightings:

• On the 1st, they were with the Kambula pride in the Tamboti Thickets and moved northwards

with them the next day, towards Tlebe Rocks.

• They were at Old Dudley Crossing on the 5th and south of Plank’s Pan the next day.

• One male was in the Tlebe Rocks Donga, east of the Mlowathi River on the 8th and the same

male was with the Kambula pride east of Campbell Koppies on the 11th.

• On the 12th, they were both with the Kambula Pride at Kikilezihash Crossing, but the next day

they joined an Ntsevu lioness to the east of Campbell Koppies.

• They joined both the Kambula and Ntsevu prides at a buffalo kill, west of MalaMala Camp on

the 17th, and were still with the Kambula pride at Mlowathi Dam on the 20th.

• They were at the Mlowathi Spot on the 21st roaring in response to the Nkuhlu males further

south and joined the members of the Ntsevu Pride at Matumi Rocks on the 24th.

• On the 29th, they were at Piccadilly Triangle and were north of Ostrich Koppies two days later. Reply
