BTW IM SO HAPPY THIS ISNT TRUE.   IF I HAVE A FAVORITE COALITION IT WOULD BE   #1-MAJINGILANE    #1A-  SOUTHERN MATIMBAS Reply

Have these two formed a coalition? The matimba atleast has some security now if something was to go down. Reply

This video was Taken in Hoyo Hoyo where Hairy Belly was seen 2 days ago. It is not clear from the video but I strongly believe these two boys look like the Matimbas ( HB & Ginger.

Here's a photo of the last two Northern Matimba's. Photo taken on the 27th July 2016 in KNP. The Matimba males were a coalition of 6 male lions but there's only 4 Matimba males left now. One Matimba male was killed in 2011/12, one Matimba male was killed by the Avoca males in 2015, 2 Matimba males are in Sabi Sands now and the other two Matimba males are in the KNP. The Northern Matimba's had a territory in Ngala Game Reserve but they were ousted a few months ago. Credits: Gert at Tambuzi.

The Matimba male that we encountered a few nights ago in the North of the Reserve was kind enough to vocalise for us. His partner in crime (Rock Fig male) joined in and the two kings gave us a thunderous performance that left us all struck with awe!! Reply
