Atleast one of the Mhangeni Breakaway females have given birth. They are known as Kambula Pride by MalaMala
MALAMALA TODAY: May 26th. Wow, what a day... we're not sure where to start! We'll follow on from yesterday's 'double whammy' of cheetah sightings- today we enjoyed a double whammy of Cape hunting dog sightings: a pack of 3 was found at Emsagwen Waterhole and they had an impressive male bushbuck surrounded. We watched in awe as the canines worked together to eventually bring down the antelope despite its commendable resistance. The Toulon pack of 11 was seen in southeastern Charleston. 3 lion sightings: Breaking news today with regard to the Kambula pride! We initially found 3 of the lionesses in the Sand River north of West Street Bridge - we got front row seats as they crossed the watercourse at sunrise with a beautiful misty backdrop. One of the lionesses then ascended a Sausage Tree and retrieved what remained of a leopard's kill. They then moved south and joined up with another 2 lionesses. A few of the lionesses began to curiously inspect a nearby bush and it became clear that at least one of the lionesses had given birth! We caught a brief glimpse of a lioness carrying one of her cubs in her mouth- they are probably only a day old. During the afternoon the 6th lioness along with the 2 unidentified young males were spotted not too far away. They soon approached the area of the the other lionesses and an intense bout of roaring followed. Due to the sensitive nature of the sighting (newborn cubs) we left the area.
