The two, three-month-old Mhangene lion cubs are doing extremely well and are keeping up with the pride at Singita Sabi Sand. We look forward to spending more time watching as they grow and hope that they will become healthy adult lions in the future.

One of the dominant male lions from the Matimba coalition graced us with his presence a couple days ago, he in fact picked up on the scent of the two young male leopards, Xivambalana and Wabayiza, who were in a territorial dispute before the Styx pride managed to maul the young male leopard. This extremely large male lion manage to sneak up on the leopards before they noticed him and moved off - the lion soon lost interest. After spending so time with him we got audio close by of the lion and leopard interaction between the Styx and Wabayiza - the leopards ran away from one lion and straight into the claws of another. The Styx pride were extremely vocal, roaring after they had fiercely mauled the leopard. To our amazement, the large Matimba male heard these roars and surprisingly turned the other way and with great speed he headed back up north into Vuyatela. He probably did not recognize the roars and without his brothers felt vulnerable, knowing that a couple of years ago at the exact same area, him and his brothers had a fierce confrontation with the mighty Majingilane.
