Lions in South-Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia

Wilderness Safaris:
Linkwasha guide Sam Mushandu (remember his adorable photos of Cecil's grand-cubs?) reports on the latest thrilling developments in the life of Cecil's son, Xanda.


"It's official, Xanda has now reclaimed his father's former territory. Cecil spent nine years of his life around Linkwasha and after careful observation we are now certain that Xanda has claimed back his heritage. I observed him three days ago just 2 km from Linkwasha in the the company of three lionesses. He was walking along the road confidently marking his territory. Xanda is easily identified by the big scar on his nose… he has clearly survived an intense battle!
For the last two nights Xanda has been calling a lot around Linkwasha, advertising his presence. He was also recorded mating with one of the three females. Which means we're keeping a very close eye on the lionesses as there there might be more grand cubs soon!"
