It was a while before lions from this pride were seen again, and on the 20th, we had three separate sightings of members of this pride. One lioness was east of the confluence of the Mlowathi River and the Nwana Nonantshemeni Donga. Two females and eight of the subadults were at Mlowathi Pans with a Northern Avoca male. Two more lionesses were south of the Gowrie Boundary, north of Mlowathi Dam. The following day (21st), most of the pride were with the two Northern Avoca males west of Mlowathi Dam.

The bulk of the sightings of members from this pride were during the first half of the month, with eight sightings recorded before the 15th. The entire pride were not seen together once. This is due to some of the lionesses having new cubs, which we are yet to see. The two Northern Avoca males were seen with the pride in five of the ten sightings. On the 1st, three lionesses were with the two northern Avoca males at Mlowathi Dam. The following day these lions had been joined by a lioness and the nine cubs when they had a buffalo kill at the same dam. On the 3rd, the cubs had been left at the dam while the lionesses and males moved further west, having finished the kill. On the 8th, three lionesses made a warthog kill on the Gowrie Boundary along the banks of the Mlowathi River. A few days later (12th), two lionesses and a Northern Avoca male were seen in Mlowathi Open Area. The two lionesses moved south overnight and were at Mlowathi Pans the following day. On the 14th, a lioness was mating with one of the Northern Avoca males southeast of Mlowathi Dam. The last two sightings of this pride were on the 22nd when two lionesses stole a scrub hare kill from a Verreaux's eagle-owl north of Mlowathi Dam. While they were here, three lionesses and the nine older cubs were north of the old borehole in Eyrefield.
 @criollo2mil hey i notice you know exact dates of lions birth, i think you should make a list for lions of Sabi Sands, in "current status of lion prides" thread, if you want.
