Singita Report Sabi Sand: November 2024
**Ximunghwe Pride** The rise of the Ximungwe Pride, two lioness and two female almost sub-adult offspring could possibly be responsible for the Tsalala cubs demise, as they seemed to have laid claim to the Tsalala lioness’ rocky kingdom which is Tavangumi koppies. They push further east now which has forced the Tsalala lioness to occupy the area around Taylor’s Crossing and beyond.
**Tsalala Pride**
Sadly it has been confirmed that the Tsalala lioness, the lioness who gave birth and did her utmost to raise her three cubs close to our camps has been unsuccessful in her first attempt at raising her litter. It is not clear what/which predators killed them but the fact that they have not been seen in over a month and she has been mating again with the Plains Camp lions confirms their fate.
**Mhangeni Pride**
The Mhangeni Pride are looking strong as they have been securing regular large prey items like buffalo and zebra.
**Kambula Pride**
We had a sighting of the Kambula Pride, which is a breakaway of the Mhangeni Pride from many years back. The pride is 17 members strong, and they have been searching for the buffalo herds that now are feeding in the southern grasslands.
**Plains Camp Males**
The Plains Camp males have been providing great viewing this month and have been sighted many times on Singita, some of these sightings have been from the decks of Ebony and Boulders Lodge.
