At 0:20 the guide mentions those 3 are the Sand River southern breakaway. And at 0:30, by the radio other guide asks which break group, and the guide says once again the southern break. 
Its a misfortunate they won't share any info on the coalition and prides of the area.

I don't think 'southern break' as he said has anything to do with breakaway prides. Since when do breakaway prides gets 'southern' or 'eastern' in front of them? That would suggest more than one breakaway, as in the southern breakaway and the northern breakaway, for example. And since the Sand River pride has only 5 lionesses now, multiple breakaways seems highly unlikely. I would imagine they were refering to something completely different.

Yeah, it could be reference to a road/path as well. Possibly short for firebreak. Point stands we don't hear enough, at least not as much as we would like from these parts of Sabi Sands.

For certain, we don't hear enough from that area. Many prides there, I wish we could keep up with, Southern Pride, Sand River, Plains Camp, Styx, Msthulu, all in the general region of southern SS, that we just don't hear enough about. Not to mention, the Nkhulu, the Gijimas, and even recently Kruger Male and S Avoca. To be honest, we used to get near daily updates from most of SS, and recently, it seems to have slowed to a trickle. Reply
