I recently have become intrigued by the lions of Sabi Sands after stumbling across a video about the famous Mapogo coalition on YouTube. I've been doing a lot of research and could not find a good map outlining the territories of the current coalitions in Sabi Sands. I made a quick, very vague outline map of where I believe the current coalitions to be in control of. I did not make this to show you definitively where they are, but rather in hopes that some of the more knowledgeable people on this forum tell me if I am on the right track to understanding the lands that these coalitions control. Thank you! This map may not be accurate. I posted it only to have others with more knowledge critique it. However, I do know that the portion of Sabi Sands that the Mantimahle currently control is in addition to a vast amount of territory they control in Kruger National Park.

Btw, one other coalition I would add there, along with the Avoca males, are the Tsalala males. They currently spend time between Lion sands and Kikrman's kamp.

The Tsalala males were chased off by the Avoca males(I think they managed to catch one alone) and were mating with a Sparta female. Photos of the Tsalala males.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

https://youtu.be/lOyR7pgX4pE Here the link from rob the ranger. All 17 members of the magheni pride killed a buffalo and were with 1 majingilane male. It looks like pride is back with the majingilane males.

Rob says in the comments as a reply and also end of the video (written at the bottom when you see recommended videos). And the grass is pretty dry/ochre-brown colour for the current season(march-april) (04-02-2018, 08:26 PM)Chris Wrote:(04-02-2018, 11:21 AM)vinodkumarn Wrote:How do you know?(04-02-2018, 10:13 AM)Chris Wrote: https://youtu.be/lOyR7pgX4pE Here the link from rob the ranger.

Looks like 11 sub-adults are together. Earlier there was one sub-adult seen separately not sure he is 12 one or joined rest of them and formed 11. Last night we had eleven sub-adult lions following the scent of a big herd of buffalo but this morning they were found without any sign of a successful hunt.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author A sub adult lion was seen walking around in the northern stretches of our reserve, contact calling for the rest of the pride. We are not sure as to who this lion is.  *This image is copyright of its original author
