"A Fight For Dominance

The arrival of three unknown male lions at the Gomoti Plains Camp area has turned up the heat on the resident male lion, Nagmerie.

The three rogue males have been moving around the territory marking their scent. Nagmerie, being the excellent father and protector of his pride, has been smart and has kept his distance to avoid conflict and keep his 11 cubs safe.

After a heavy thunderstorm one afternoon we heard loud roars coming from every direction. We went out with some staff to investigate and found Nagmerie and one of the rogue males locked in a battle that went on for hours.

For the time being it looks like it will take more than this rogue male to knock Nagmerie off his throne."
