N'waswitshaka males

" target="_blank" class="post_link">
We had two sightings of the two N’waswishaka male lions. We were still out to find the pride of lions that were evading us. We were spurred on by news that they had indeed been spotted earlier in the day but finding them proved challenging. Rain and wind meant that almost no evidence had been left behind. They moved, seemingly like ghosts, but we were determined to find them until eventually they appeared and boy was it worth the effort. The very rarely seen Kambula Pride had made their entrance. This large pride and its many young cubs were accompanied by one of the N'waswishaka males. They moved through the wet grass, with the mother lionesses paving a route for the cubs to follow along, one by one, in a line. The large male soon followed, scent marking as he went off into the wet thickets. In the far north-eastern corner of our reserve lay the figure of a large male lion hidden between Magic Guarri thickets. Sheltered from the rain, this N'waswishaka male groomed himself thoroughly, halting to scan around, seemingly still in search of his companions. A scent drew his nose high into the air, enticing him to get up and start moving. From the core of his being, a roar of great magnitude arose, almost as to bid farewell and move deeper into the bush. |
