Singita KNP update

[color=rgba(85, 88, 87, 0.7)]Since the lodge has reopened, and we are covering more area on our concession we have had incredible sightings of lions. Almost all of our resident prides have been seen this month on multiple occasions. These are some highlights:[/color]

• The Mananga Pride were seen on multiple occasions on the concession in the north-western parts, which they are now occupying. There are currently 11 individuals in this pride. They were seen stalking large herds of zebras and buffalo that were making their way to Gudzane Dam to quench their thirst in the extreme summer heat. On another occasion, they were seen feeding on a buffalo kill.
• Xihamham, a member of the Shishangaan coalition, was seen in attendance of the Mananga Pride, and on Christmas Eve he delighted guests by roaring loudly and proclaiming his territory. Towards the end of the month he was found mating with a Mananga Pride lioness.
• The Northern Pride, together with a Northern Pride Male, were seen around Cassia Open Areas.
• Twelve members of the Mountain Pride have moved further north on the concession, where they are staying around Golf Course Clearing. All of the cubs seem to be fit and healthy.
• The Kumana Male was sighted by guests as they arrived at the Lebombo turning circle. A great welcoming committee indeed! He was also found feasting on a giraffe carcass which was most likely caught by a coalition of younger nomadic lions. 
• Two young nomadic males were found south of Ndlovu Lookout. They seem relaxed around vehicles, but looked out of place, as they had breached the territory of the remaining Kumana Male.
• Members of the Shishangaan Pride were around Tortillas Clearing with four of their cubs practicing their stalking skills on each other. They were also seen around the lodge, visible from the Lebombo decks, with full bellies, a stone’s throw away from the giraffe carcass the Kumana Male had fed on.

First picture we have the huge, most dominant member from our observations. Second is the most photogenic one often seen with a unique look. Finally the third boy is the Mohican, short mane, cool and fatal fighter.

Hi @"Brahimlegend" , I disagree with you that the biggest male nicknamed Toya is the most dominant one, Stef Botha made a post in which she described some attributes of the 3 Mjejane males and in that I emphasize that the dominant one is the one you put as number 2 "Pretty boy" and that has been said by Dave Pusey and several rangers of Mjejane "Clif" among others.... Greetings bro! Reply

Greetings bro! @titose Dave and stef have seen this post they didn’t say anything. But yeah it’s possible, that’s why I said from our observations but it’s always hard to tell who’s dominant Reply

There where South Shishangeni (coalition of 2,maybe more, 1 still alive) and just Shishangeni (coalition of 4, 2 still alive), they are around the same age (10 or more, S. Shishangeni is younger a bit i think ) , Shishangenis are sired by Old Gomondwanes, S. Shishangeni as far as I know got their name because they where dominant over South Shishangeni pride, idk who sired them..Shishangenis ousted S. Shishangenis few years back. 

Theres also 4 Shishangaan males (now 3 alive) and their 4 sons, young Shishangaan males (white lion), they have no conections to Shishangenis, they are far away.. Reply

There are at best 2 Shishangaan males remaining.  Reply

Shishangaans originally 5, one died early into their reign. Then big boy, one eye died during the period of fights between the nwanetsi . I don’t know if they are three or two, I haven’t heard Brian rode mention third is dead yet. I know he was injured but no confirmation Reply
