At the same time someone on Sabi Sabi posted a story of the Nwaswitshaka patrolling at night and saying they got active after sunset. Sabi Sabi just confirmed this with one of their recent posts saying the Nwaswitshaka got active after sunset. So yesterday they were at Sabi Sabi, not Singita. People are still asking her where she saw the 4 males but she hasn't answered yet. I'm also wondering if she is at a different location or if they were there earlier and returned late.
That post of them patroling at night was 2 nights before the post of them yesterday in Singita.. So plenty of time to move..
As I say, that distance is only around 5-6 km, which human can do in 2 hours with slow walk..

Also activity of Bboys in Londolozi is very low these days by rangers and are only seen in very eastern parts of Londolozi and OM was recently seen further west, so they prob didn't heard any roars in that area

They where with full bellies, rangers are saying that they are doing really well, especially because of the young female, who they said is brilliant huntress for her age.

Can anyone say without a doubt that she is indeed as old as hairy belly?
They prob mistaken her for Purple Eyes..
Silver Eyes is atleast 13 yrs old.
Thank you for your reply dude. Very much appreciated!

Mystery of which lioness was mating with Wide Nose Nwaswitshaka around Selati Camp is finally solved, it is the one of the leading lionesses of Kambulas, lioness #2, also known as Orange Eyes:

Situation around central Sabi Sands is becoming quite interesting, young Torchwood male was also seen near by in Umkumbe, and N. Avocas are starting to hang out deeper in Londolozi and quite regulary, seen on Londolozi Instagram story recently:

Kambulas in estrus are obiviously attracting all those males, lets see what happens.
Any idea what happened to Blondie Tumbela's front paw? I saw pictures of it with no swelling or injuries, yet he won't put any pressure on it at all. Even at DM's worst, he was still walking on his leg. Tumbela also has a few new scars and still looks like a sub adult.
I'm rooting for these boys but things just don't seem to get better for 2 out of the 3 males.

That Tumbela was already limping when they first came here,as far as I remember, he has swelling on his elbow.. These guys obiviously had very rough nomadic life..
I hope they succeed, western sector is good area for them, as its very unlikely that some bigger coalition invade them, and roars of 3 males will be enough to keep away 1 or 2 male coalitions..
3 Nkuhumas (young) lionesses had an unidentified meal (size of sub-adult waterbuck - estimation by Tristan Dicks) on Chitwa and then moved west to Little Gowrie.
3/4 Torchwood lionesses spotted nearby on the Main Gowrie Cutline turned north and moved to Buffelshoek north of Torchwood. Talamatis were heard roaring in Buffelshoek.
