Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara

[Gamiz]

We got lucky this morning with a sighting of Scarface and his two Marsh pride brothers. They had killed a wildebeest and were chomping happily on it. Two of the brothers finished and parked themselves under a nearby tree. When Scarface came to rest with them, he may have stood on a foot or a tail and a fight erupted. Unfortunately the large brewing wildebeest herd we had anticipated might cross later, quickly came to an abrupt halt. All action subsided and that was the end of any impending crossing.
The rest of the day was spent wandering along the banks of the Mara River which was infested with many pods of hippoes.
Towards camp we came upon three sub adult lions who were clearly now out on their own. New members of the Rekero Pride I am thinking.
Tomorrow we cross over into Serengeti....onward we safari :-)
