"My best lion sighting EVER last night. We were with the big S8 male for a few hours. He put on the most incredible territorial show for us by roaring every 2/3mins. To be able to experience this with my family is just the best! What a place the Sabi Sands is!"

"The two Gijima males were spotted on the banks of the Umlechwaan River drainage line showing interest in a large herd of buffalo in the area. The two males trailed the buffalo until the herd got wind of the lions. The herd came together and chased the lions off to a safe distance"

The bigger Gijima male is such a gorgeous young male. It's a shame their backgrounds are still unknown. Would have been good to know their origins. Especially by the particular appearance of them

I would be guessing Plains Camp pride. On the video there are 2 young males so it is not Sand River pride.

Both Gijima males now mated with older Sand River female :



This female is prob mother of young female born in late 2019,  interesting choice that she went to mate with new males, as rest of adult females in Sand River pride have cubs/subs with S. Avocas 
, she will most likely need to breakaway from them, alone,  unless, she is also mating with S. Avocas.

The big gash isn't, I think Nhenha gave him that over mating rights. The scratch over his eyebrow might be

It seems that the Xinghungwe hates to be away from Gingerella.  Perhaps it reminds her of when she lost her daughter, never to see her again.
This is not good that the Othawa pride is so near Nhenha and his partner.  I cannot invision a good outcome for the Othawa pride without some good distance between them.
Did Sassy know that Auntie died.  Is she waiting for her to reappear?
