This morning we went in at Crocodile Bridge. As we entered the two Shishangeni males chased one of the Gomodwane males towards the S28. As we got onto the S28 we found the one Gomodwane, a few meters down the road we saw all the females and cubs as well. They were all in a big hurry, probably running from the Shishangeni males. The one Gomodwane joined up with the pride and they headed down the road.

As you get to the Shishangeni lodge turn off we found the other two Gomodwane males waiting patiently. The females and one male greeted them and they set off onto the private road. We didn't see the Shishangeni males again.
As we moved on we later found the 4th Gomodwane male appear from the mist, it was quite an eerie sighting as he quietly strolled passed us towards the pride. It's only a matter of time until there will be a proper fight between the Shishangeni and Gomodwane males.

Gomondwane Male:

So 3 Gomondwanes down south got a backup of 4th male. 

Interesting that 2 Shishangenis are acting like this, trying to "reclaim" Vurhamis it looks like, still not sure if they abandon Vurhamis (most likely) or got ousted by Gomondwanes in 2020, they where 3 at that time, so quite strange that as 2 they are trying to reclaim them 2 yrs later. 

Or maybe they are just pressured by Gomondwanes and are trying to stop them expanding west. 

As much as they are powerful, they cant do nothing outnumbered, especially 2 vs 4 or even 5, those Gomondwanes are also fierce and massive beast (i mean they have the same fathers).

if they keep pushing there they dont know what in store for them there maybe setting a trap for them Reply
