There was huge excitement in camp when the young Machaton Lioness gave birth at the end of the month! The guides and staff were unsure of how many cubs were born, however watch this space for more news! The Machaton pride and Timbavati boys spent some quality time on traversing and the guides saw them on Wildebeest kills twice during the month.
The Schobele pride went through a spell of hardship again due to the fact that new males are moving in from the North. They are associating with the females but don’t allow the three young boys to hang around in their presence. As soon as the big males move in the youngsters, including the 2 girls, flee for their lives and run into all directions. This sometimes makes it difficult to find them as they literally run all over the show… Good news though is that for the last few weeks the seven Lions were seen together with no sign of the new males.
These Births have been recorded in & around the Kings Camp Area
