Lions of Timbavati

[Tshokwane]

Tintswalo Safari Lodge:
Yesterday afternoon produced some interesting surprises! After a fairly quiet start, Ettienne found two young male Lions, that we have never seen before. They were on Powerlines, and quite close to the Main dam area. We estimate that they are about 4 years old.

Ok, so one of these males is the son of the Matimba males, the Nkuhuma young male, called Junior. I don't know who's the other male, it could be the missing Sparta young male(the third one) or it could be one of Junior's cousins from some other pride.

Edit: He's the third Mhangeni male, his two brothers were seen separated in Nkorho.

Anyway, it's good to see him with a brother finally, the proper state for a lion to be, in a coalition.

This one is the Nkuhuma young male
