I've spent the last month researching most of the last 10 years of sabi sands area. I admit I was a fanboy of the mapogo's. I've been searching for a new coalition of lions to admire and follow. I really dig what these 5 mantimahle lions are doing.  They're setting themselves apart from other coalitions in sabi sands/kruger. I've been unable to locate any known names for these individual male lions. I've watched video's and read documents and I've already found my favorite of the group. I'm just hoping someone can help me with their individual names. If not I'll create my own for myself.

First, welcome to the forum. I also ended up here because of the brothers in blood documentary. To answer your question, the mantimahles don't have individual names. Naming lions happens less often in the kruger since there aren't as many lodges in the area who follow these animals on a day to day bases. If they settle in sabi sands though, they probably will get individually named.

Ty, I've been lurking for approximately 1-2 months. Yes, I have noticed they dont follow kruger males as closely as sabi sands. I've also noticed sabi sands lions control for much longer periods of time. I do hope some local Sabi Sands rangers/locals start naming these lions. I feel they deserve some notoriety for their aggressive and size. I sure hope they move into the sabi sands and balance out some of the maji's inbreeding. Reply
