Coalitions of Kruger National Park

[DARK MANE]

Some updates:
The Sweni Mega Lion Pride currently consist of 5 Lionesses, 3 Huge Males and 9 cute playful Cubs, where some of them have becoming sub-adults now.

The Original three males that ruled the Sweni pride till around 2018/2019 took over the N’wanetsi pride, up further north, during 2019 - now only one male remains. The other two probably died during the COVID lock-down in 2020.

We are not sure about the origin of the current three Sweni Males.
One thing we know for sure is that this is probably one of the most stable and successful Lion Prides currently in Kruger National Park.
The three Pride Males are most of the time in the presence of the females and cubs and their bellies are full every time we spot them.
Their territory is along the Sweni River and the adjacent Sweni plains where you will find lots and lots of Wildebeest, Zebra and Giraffe as well as the occasional passing of Buffalo herds.

THEIR CLOSEST RIVALS ARE:
To the North:
The Two Nkaya Males, often recently seen with the Nsemani lionesses     because The Nsemani Pride Males, Rockfig and Senior Mbiri, are at the end of their lifespan

And the Four Shish Males - Casper the White Lion and Brothers that control the Satara Pride



To the East:
The Seven Southern Pride Males And the Two Kumana and Maputo Males that now control the Shishangaan Pride in which Casper and Brothers were born



To the South:
The One Hamiltons Male, a nomad And the Two Nwaswitsontso Males that now control the Hamiltons Pride . Reply
