Lions of Sabi Sands

To my eye either Junior Nkuchuma or Talamati male sired by Matimbas which teamed up with two Mhangeni. They looked very similar.

Mala Mala February:
THE TORCHWOOD PRIDE Another good sightings tally of the Torchwood pride! We are still struggling to make heads or tails of this pride but we believe that at least three (possibly four) young females and one young male have now ‘officially’ broken away from the pride. As we mentioned earlier, it looks like the breakaway is done and dusted and we’ll start considering a name for this ‘new’ pride. As for the young male, has he gone his own way or will he come back to his sisters? THE NKUHUMA PRIDE As is the case with the Torchwood pride, the Nkuhuma pride have started to spend more and more time on our reserve. Although sightings did decrease from last month, we still enjoyed seven sightings of the pride. THE MARTHLY PRIDE Things aren’t looking promising for this pride. The Kambula pride frequent Marthly on a regular basis and now the Nkuhuma pride are starting to venture in there as well. As a result, we only recorded the one sighting this month when both mother and cub were found near Elephant Rock on the 21st. THE STYX PRIDE There were no sightings of these lions this month. Note: They indeed seem to be settling in western Sabi Sands. THE GOWRIE MALES The two surviving members continue to spend the vast majority of their time with the Kambula pride. They also continued to mate with the lioness that does not have cubs, yet. They have enjoyed a virtually unchallenged reign over much of our reserve since they took control but the winds of change may be quietly gathering themselves in the form of the northern Avoca males who have been seen venturing into the northern parts of Gowrie male territory.
