Lions of Sabi Sands

 One of the Avoca males mate with a Nkuhuma lioness, sharing what seems like a tender moment before what is the furthest thing from that takes place - Sabi Sands Game Reserve Credit: Kyle-Devrin Olivier March 26, 2020. 
Sabi Sabi is crowded with lions and prides these days.
Just few days ago whole Kambula pride with 2 Bboys where seen in Sabi Sabi, but returned in Londolozi. Yesterday Mhangeni pride was seen:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Today where sighting of 2 Southern Pride females in companionship with young Sand River male:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Also today very rare visit from 2 S.

Avocas where alone in Sabi Sabi, not with Sand River pride, and this 2 photos are from some members of Kambula pride, not Sand River :  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
Clash between 2 Southern Pride lionesses + Sand River young male vs 6 Mhangeni lionesses (Nguvu wasnt with them) in Sabi Sabi:

The presence of Sand River male within Salati pride may come in handy in such situations. I hope he will stick with those two females from some time.
From Savanna Private Game Reserve. I am not sure who the male is. I presume it is Styx male, but might be Nkuchuma male with his sister.

Agree, hope he sticks with them. Photos of young Sand River male (Mantimahles son) with Southern pride lionesses :  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author This boy will be hugee, this is him alongside 5th Mantimahle in October 2019:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author He lost some condition as he is nomad now, as 5th Mantimahle abandon them, and their mothers left with S. Avocas, hope he makes it, it will be hard, i think he is around 2.5 - 3 yrs old (no more then 3). No info about his 5 sisters and 2 brothers (1 brother was seen with him in Sabi Sabi not long ago).
How have the Mhangeni increased to 6 members? A year or so back they were down to 3 from the original Tsalala Breakaway pride. Where did the new lionesses come from? If they are cubs of the original lionesses, who sired them and how old are they?

If that is true that is not the same Lion . or do I not understand nose spots ?(03-30-2020, 09:01 PM)Potato Wrote: The presence of Sand River male within Salati pride may come in handy in such situations.

Singita will do live stream safari, maybe they will find and show us Othawa Male.
"This week we launched our Virtual Game Drives - live wildlife sightings broadcast on Instagram by our Resident Photographer, Ross Couper. In just a couple of videos from Singita Sabi Sand in South Africa, we've seen a leopard and her cubs, rhinos and buffalos sharing a waterhole, a bull elephant paddling in the Sand River, a pod of hippos, a herd of zebra and, just this morning, a pack of endangered wild dogs finishing off a kill. • We are also posting daily Instagram Stories from the wilderness in an effort to transport you to Africa through your phone and immerse you in the incredible landscapes under our care. We hope that they bring you a few moments of joyful distraction. • You can watch today's Story to learn how to watch the Virtual Game Drives on Instagram Live (which are available for 24 hours after the Live stream) or access our "This Week" highlight to see the other wildlife Stories we've posted since Monday." |
