The afternoon of the 24th, the Nharu pride with the two Thanda Impi male lions were relocated on leadwood link. All were sleeping off the buffalo they’ve killed the previous day. Sizanani male lion, one of the Thanda Impi’s is in very bad condition after picking up an injury too his left hip. Not sure what the cause was, but there is speculation that it may be from a hunting accident. At least he has been feeding well so we are hoping for a speedy recovery. 

The next morning, 4 Mbiri lionesses were found just South of Xigamba pan. They were heading in a straight line towards their cubs on windy windy. We lost their visual before they reached there destination. The Nharu pride managed too kill another 2 buffalo during the night and the two Males were at the one carcass on Nveve link, while the lionesses and cubs were not more then 300m away on Piva path with their kill.

The afternoon of the 25th, we managed too check in with the Thanda Impi male lions on Nveve link. This time we had a proper look at Sizanani’s limp and its not looking good at all!
