Really makes me happy to see.

He's big enough to bully the local leopards/cheetahs/hyenas from their food too
Thinking about it, I don't even remember hyenas on Ngala being shown on Wilde Earth - lions, leopards, cheetahs and even jackals and ofc numerous birds of prey yes, but no hyena sighting afair. (not counting wild dogs, they just travel through, recently Pungwe pack went all the way around far west into Balule, same pack that sometimes crossing northern parts of Sabi Sands that WE covers) Maybe they are less numerous than elsewhere and less of a factor, considering hwo succeful and fairly sedentary Brimingham pride and its offshoots are. Ofc if you can get white lions sighting you pick that over hyenas all the time. Maybe there is a den in the southern hard to access parts of Ngala or none at all. Would be more meat to steal from other predators if there is not strong hyena presence (I would assume hyena getting to the kill quicker than even a normally walking lion and eating a big chunk of it if they can get it from whatever made the kill)

Members of the Birmingham breakaway pride - These members are spending majority of their time on Orpen/KNP, except for the 1 year old cub in the last image, he's on Ngala with the main Birmingham pride and the Ross males - To not get confused, there's three Birmingham breakaway prides that have been break-away through the years, the Nharu pride on Manyeleti break-away from the Birmingham pride in 2015/2016, then, the Birmingham break-away pride leaded by Stompie/Tailess lioness, and most recently, the current Birmingham break-away pride with the two white lions, who are being leading by the lioness known as white dot (oldest lioness born around 2006/7) and his sister.
