"As the days continue to accumulate since the last sighting of the Matimba male, the possibility of his passing seems more than just a premonition. This image of the Matimba and Majingalane offspring is a comforting reminder that these great bloodlines and their legacy will continue through the Sabi Sand."

This guy is Londolozi tracker and near future we will see more on Londolozis youtube channel or blog.

I don't know what exactly I should see there, but I noticed, that it is actually the very same road!

Pause at 6:35 and compare the trees at the bend of the road.






The chase video for comparison again, best at around 0:50 https://www.instagram.com/p/CMo_C2qAIab/

"With the vegetation being very thick at the moment, the river bed provides perfect viewing opportunities. A young male lion yawns just before he got moving."

I dont know what it is with Tsalala lionesses and their tails, but its a signature of the pride at this point..

Other then that, 2 girls are doing great, they where seen in MalaMala, shortly after Mohawk Avoca was seen not too far away, following their tracks..

The stories of the Tsalala pride girls and their tails continue. Quite intriguing this!

There's a lot of males around the same age in that pic. What a force they will be if they form a coalition together.

"It was amazing to see the young torchwood male lion with 4 lionesses from the pride. He does seem to have been knocked around a little bit, but he is still looking in beautiful condition."

"By the evening, the young Plains Camp male lions were fully engorged and were lying down trying to digest their meal. They were panting heavily and occasionally looked up to scan their surroundings."
