Avoca Male Lions

The afternoon drive turned out to be quite surprising for us when the 4 avoca males were found sleeping with relative full bellies close to Xigamba pan! These guys did not bother to play along until the waxing moon was 2 thumbs up in the sky and they kept a not so hungry eye on buffalo bulls passing in the moonlight.

Old Ross Male The Good still going strong .
Who remembers the Ross Pride leader 'the Good'? This magnificent male was chased away when the Trilogy moved in a couple of years ago, and now he has been seen again on the boundary of the Trilogy territory where he joined the small Ross Pride at a warthog kill. Take a look at this scene: http://www.sundestinations.co.za/…/the-good-feasts-with-th…/

The result of trophy hunting. He can't defend his pride because his two partners were killed by humans.

2 days ago, the Machaton pride and Mabande had a run in with 2 unknown males, the males attacked Mabande and then proceeded to chase him off. This didnt bode well for the young cubs in the pride. Fortunately the whole pride including Mabande were seen this morning together and there has been no sign of the intruding males...interesting times may lay ahead but we all hold thumbs that this pride can continue to grow and do well.
