"It is a massive male Lion, the biggest I have seen apart from some other back in 2010"

2010? Old Birminghams, Ximpoko, Black Dams father. There was a lot of large lions in the Timbavati back than.

It is not necessarily from Timbavati. AT the comment section you can see that guide seen plenty of lions throu out the years.

" I have seen most of the male Lions throughout the entire Greater Kruger. I would say that the Moria male from Kalama would be equal, the two Satara males, the Birmingham males, Charleston males were massive.
I once saw a dude on the S28 in 2020, he was at the time in control of the Vurhami pride, do not know him by name but a massive male.
LOL and then Casper is just special, seen him a few times, he is special??"

" Well, when I started guiding in Thornybush back in 2014 we had 3 Males on the property, The other two at the time had really nice manes, but their bodies weren't as big. When we opened or fence with Kruger National park in early 2017, a lot of males came in and out but none of them were as big as the Black Dam male, the Giraffe male, however, was a descent-sized male. I must say that the Charleston males in the southern parts of the Sand were just as big. They were big boys."

" Yes indeed I got to see them (note: Matimbas) and the Birhnigham males in the Northern Sands as well as for the Avoca males, Mapoza Males. I still love the Vurhami pride, they are awesome as well as the Nkuhuma pride."

" thanks for the good question. I reckon the Nhenha Birmingham was bigger than the Matimbas, at the time I last saw them, back in 2017. The Matimbas all had very good genes, similar in stature, only saw them going out of their prime."

"I reckon this Black Dam male was bigger than the BBoys. But the BBoys were more ruthless in nature and attitude"

"and yes the Giraffe male was a good looking male as well, same with the mapogos, only saw them once way back, they were really scary dudes!"

Oh thought he was talking about the Timbavati. Wow this dude has seen a lot of lions. Interesting hearing his takes on the sizes. Reply
