Ndzhenga Males

This month, we recorded 10 more sightings of members of this coalition than we did last month. 12 of the 29 sightings were with lionesses from the Kambula pride. This month we saw two new coalitions on the outskirts of this coalition’s territory, perhaps this coupled with some of the lionesses being in oestrus, is why we saw these males more in a more concentrated area, and more frequently this month. 

Noteworthy sightings: 
• Three males were with three females from the Kambula pride on the 2nd, south of Princess Alice Pans. 
• One male mated with a lioness from the Kambula pride on the 8th, north of Princess Alice Pans. Another male was west of West Street Crossing at the same time. 
• A mating pair was around Flockfield Tower on the 10th and 11th . 
• A male was on the Causeway on the 12th . 
• Two males were north of the Sausage Spot on the 15th .

• All four males were with four lionesses from the Kambula pride around Kapen Open Area on the 22nd .
