There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Ndhzengas chasing Gijima males (most likely) this week :

Source : Sabi Sabi week blog

"We woke up at Selati Camp one morning to the sound of lions roaring – or so we thought. Ronald was busy with wake-up calls when three male lions appeared from nowhere, so he quickly made his way to the safety of the main lodge area. The lions didn’t seem to be bothered with his presence as they were focused on fighting with another male. All the sounds we had heard were from these lions, within the lodge grounds. We then noticed the Styx Pride lionesses lying in front of camp.
Hearing these lions roar very close to the camp was amazing! Male lions roar for different reasons but mostly to assert their dominance over other males in the area. We could not get a clear ID on the males but assumed they might have been the N’waswishaka males chasing another male who came too close to the Styx Pride.
In situations like this, male lions will always try to protect their prides and not tolerate any other males in their territory. It was incredible watching them as they ran past camp but were not able to locate them again as they continued to chase the intruder. The rest of the Styx Pride were later seen at the waterhole in front of Selati Camp, with all members accounted for, but visibly unsettled, alert and weary of their surroundings."

Ubuso
Don't know when it was taken, but I presume it was recently. From that footage, He looks to be in a good condition when sitting down and, hopefully, he's just taking it easy

Ubuso was seen eating with Eorenji and Amahle yesterday. It's great to see him with other males and Kambula pride.

It's good to see ubuso with the prominent two members after such a long time. Hope they will share some qualitt time to strong their bond.

Because we have no footage of them together doesn't mean they don't came across each other off camera.
It's something some people on this forum have a hard time understanding, rangers aren't everywhere to film everything

If they are in the same area, as they are, of course they hang together off camera. 

But, as we previously discussed about Ndhzengas and Styx pride when they where not seen together for 2 months or something , Ndhzengas where regulary seen in Londolozi/MalaMala, while Styx's where mostly in Lion Sands, then we cant assume they where seeing each others, as they where in different areas.

Now when Styx's moved up north and are hanging around Selati Camp, we again see sightings of Ndhzengas and Styx's together, because they are in the same area, or closer to each others.

You're right. 
Actually, the majority of interactions are not captured in camera. Therefore, I personally like to connect the dots using inferences/deductions/theories based on what we see and hear in the videos.

Any sightings of Nwaswitshaka cubs from kambula pride. I have heard from so many channels / fb pages that atleast 3 kambula females already give birth to nwaswitshaka cubs. 
But still not a single sightings of them.

We typically don't see them for the first three months. On the reserves they also sometimes "lock" den sites, nobody is allowed to go to active den site locations so as to not add any unnecessary variables that might affect the cubs
