Ximhungwe pride


As life goes in the bush, every up has a down. On last report and this month we mentioned how unsuccessful the Othawa pride have been with their latest litters of cubs and now we are happy to say that we have seen all the visible signs that the two lionesses of Ximhungwe have cubs and one other female is heavily pregnant.
And now what we do is wait…. As we look forward to seeing the survival of the first Ximhungwe cubs sired by the Selati male lions. Reply
