Great photos Titose. 

Were the Ngotso males introduced from Kgalagadi? The first Image the sand and grass as well at first glance look like the Kgalagadi ecosystem or perhaps the Balule area (of KNP) has that kind of similarities

I don't really have any information if these males were transferred from another reserve, but it's very likely!

Personally, I doubt it. The Kruger ecosystem already has a viable and genetically diverse lion population. It would be pretty redundant of them and a waste of time, energy and resources to translocate lions from hundreds of kilometres away just to add to an already strong population, even more so if it's mostly for aesthetic reasons.
