In this sighting and on his sighting on Savanna vlog 2 weeks ago he acted quite nervous which even rangers pointed out, quite strange of him.. Does he feel pressured by 3 new males??
Wow very interesting of course!

Yup, but wounds on his back are not vissible, it is just guide words that they are there.

Also, those 3 young males where apperantly seen with female (they think its Othawa lioness) feeding on a kill in northern Singita.
Which absolutely makes no sense for Othawa female to be in N. Singita and hanging out with this males..
I think thats more likely lone Nkuhuma lioness (sister of NK male), she is hanging in that area and Simbambili.. And few weeks ago alone lionesses was spotted in Ulusaba, prob her, or maybe Ximhungwe lioness, if she lost her cub.
I just dont believe thats Othawa lioness, but we need to wait and see if thats true it seems..

" This lone male lion was walking along a road, marking almost every second tree and vocalising - he must have been busy for most of the morning as he soon lay down for a little rest. "

The Mane almost meets with the elbows, A bit similar as used to has Hairy Belly in their prime.
Both Bboys are absolutely stunning males,they'd aged like fine wine..

Totally agree!
Although Nhenha look more younger than Tinyo, Tinyo have a much better mane (big)
Lion movements across the property continue to change and surprise us. Last month saw the arrival of three young male lions moving into the northern parts of Singita Sabi Sands. These three males have continued to make their presence known and have also since been seen mating with a lioness who we believe may be from the Othawa pride.
The Nsevu pride have seemingly begun to explore wider areas and have been witnessed on a few occasions hunting in our south-eastern parts of the property. With more than twenty lions in the pride, they truly are a staggering sight to behold.
Due to the Nsevu pride spending some more time on our property, this has meant that the Birmingham males have also started to move into a closer range. With roars coming from both the two Birmingham males, as well as the three young males in the north, this meant that the Othawa male has had to make a bigger name for himself within his territory and remain sure that his area is secure.
" We decided to head back to the area where the four N’waswishaka male lions and Southern Pride female were seen earlier yesterday. The males and female were interacting, allowing for a wonderful sighting. The males were showing a lot of interest in the female, sniffing her urine and using their vomeronasal organs to test the receptivity of the female. "
" It was a very cold start to the morning as the clouds had set in overnight and the wind having a very icy feel, so we were fortunate to come across this pride of lions hunkering down in a slightly more thick area escaping the cold breeze. With signs that they had recently fed, we were sure that they wouldn’t move any time soon, until a small herd of impala got their attention, showing the true opportunistic behaviour of predators. "
