There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Gomondwanes are impressive boys, very big manes, more of them on Kruger Sightings :

Looks like those 3 love to hang together around s28 (Slit Nosed male, Smudge Nosed male and 1 more) while other 2 (1 with blue eye) are further west prob.

If I remember, all 5 where last seen together quite north on s137, in Tshokwane males territory, few months ago.

Any info about their offspring? They are dominant for quite some time now, since 2019.

Wow Nice!

Which one seems to be the most dominant one atm?


To be honest, I don't know who's the dominant of the four, Since this year they started to took-over a pride by themselves, And their sightings aren't regular like happens with Timbavati or Sabi Sands lions. So, I haven't much idea of which is the dominant one. however, I'll dare to say, the #2

Slit Nosed Gomondwane is definitely in the discussion as one of the most impressive males in Kruger atm.

Another good looking offspring of the Shishangeni coalition.

@Mangw Gomondwane pride, fathered by the 7 old Gomondwanes. Same fathers the Shishangeni males have.

Here’s some pictures of the 5 Gomondwane by Aishwarya Ganesh and Zaakir Kajee. There’s also a video I posted on Facebook of the 5 walking together. Search “5 Gomondwane” in lion sightings group.
