" In two sightings:
We had spent some time with a female lion who was contact calling all morning. We had our suspicions that there were other lions in the area, so we decided to look around. Not too far from where we had left the female we came across the N’waswishaka males sleeping in a Tamboti thicket. After finding the Southern Pride female the night before, the next morning we started searching where we left her and after some tracking and trailing we finally found her. She seemed to be on a mission, contact calling regularly and constantly on the move, until she disappeared from our view into a drainage line. That evening she crossed our border and was followed by 4 young males hot on her heels – they were perhaps who she was searching for. "

3 new boys is northen Singita (in between Othawa male and Northen Avocas arenas). They seem to be a bit shy.
I really think they are Nkuhuma and Styx males( we see only two lions), I do not think new males come in singita and none of the other reserves seen them, i think its only speculations.

But yes, its strange that no other reserve spot them...they say that they came from the north in northern Singita, they could pass Avocas territory thru Simbambili from Manyeleti, in southern Manyeleti where seen numerous nomadic young males in recent times...so its not impossible.. This young male was seen in southern Manyeleti few days ago, by Tintswalo, with a lioness, they where both shy, but maybe there where more of them in the bush:  *This image is copyright of its original author From that area to northern Singita is just few km, which is nothing for a lions..

The guide has said that there were 3 males, just one of them hiden into the bushes. The seem to be shy and alerted of the vehicle. Most likely they came from the east, from Greater Kruger.
