2/4 s36 males
They are big beautiful bastards 😍🔥

It is very possible that they could be the 4 kumana males who are the 4 sons of the madala and blondie mluwati males of which madala aligned with his sons but wasn’t Sen again after the anthrax outbreak.

If they are the mluwati males kumana sons and it is looking highly likely that they are then they would be 7 years old and hitting prime age.

The kumana pride is satara based pride so only a stones throw away in lion travelling distances

From the few sightings we’ve seen of them it is most likely because of these 4 males and the 5 monwana males as to why the 2 aging mongawane males went more north by the H7 with the Skorro pride and are hardly seen due to the relocation area being less traversable than their old stomping ground near north east manyeleti and the bordering Kruger region.

2 of the 4 males were seen in red road males old central manyeleti territory a few days back

They are usually found on the s36 which is a sand road between orpen & satara as well as to the east of manyeleti

They hold the torchwood pride up by the Talamati camp and expelled the then 3 torchwood males (sons of Kruger male) from the imbali area which could be why twisted leg torchwood came in to contact with the 5 monwana males and lost his life

If the 4 enter central manyeleti I don’t see them being stopped. Time will tell what their intentions are 🙏

I would love to see more of the 4 s36 (possibly kumana) males 💯🦍👑

Thank to @melc.in.the.wild for sharing this with us and to Aa and his friends for their work in what I and others have suspected for a while now

A real-life wildlife moment I’ve always dreamed of witnessing! 🦁😍

These lionesses stood their ground and protected their kill against the hyenas, and getting to witness this in person was something truly special.

You can watch these moments on Documentarys, but being there is a completely different experience. The sound of the hyenas calling and the lionesses roaring gives you goosebumps! The adrenaline running through your body is something you can’t explain unless you’ve experienced it yourself 😱

To witness nature unfolding like this, right in front of my eyes, was such a blessing.
These are the moments that remind me why I love the bush and wildlife photography so much.
It's not just about getting the shot; it's about being there and experiencing it all 🍃

Let's just say, this girl was VERY happy when we left! 😂

A little call for mom in the heart of the bush. 🦁

This morning, we tracked our beautiful Eastern Pride and were lucky enough to spend some time with the whole pride, including the two precious cubs of our Eastern main female, B. Their little calls for mom, surrounded by the golden morning light, were a reminder that even the smallest voices carry the biggest stories.

Moments like these make every track worth following.

Early in the morning, when the light begins to awaken, the Masai Mara... 🦁🌅

A young male and a lioness from the legendary Topi Pride rest easy after their feast. Silence, golden light and the real kings of the savannah in front of us.

Such moments are what make the Mara unique.

Let’s compare the outcomes of some legendary status lions who fought 3v1 upwards and never survived to Eoranji’s 1v4 fight vs the young torchwood males

I’d like to state that this post is not intended to offend anyone that loves certain lions. I understand no 2 fights nor 2 sets of lions are ever the same. I am also not disputing who was the strongest or fiercest male. This is purely to highlight that at 11 years old and how he has bounced back when most of us thought he was done for highlights his healthy and strong genetics/immune system but mostly that it puts the Ndzenga males truly up there with the best of sabi sands past legends in mine and many other peoples opinions for numerous reasons on top of this recent dynamic such as 35 living offspring sired, 5 prides held/grown of which 2 are/were 20 plus members, 6.5 years and counting reign as dominant males and lastly how ubuso, gore and now eoranji survived what has killed many other top tier lions.

Kinky tail mapogo (8/9 years old) died in a 4v1 to 4 majingilane males who were 4.5-5 yo

Mr.t (9/10 years old) died to 4 selati males who were 4 yo

Tinyo Birmingham (11 years old) was never seen again after 4 Ndzenga over threw them for kambula pride

Skorokoro nharu (9 years old) was killed by ncila males 4v1 when they were 4 yo

Alpha nbdm (still unconfirmed & was 8y 11 month old) killed by Birmingham breakaway 3v1

Blondie of the nkuhuma pride male coalition & brother to dozie killed by mapogo 4/v1 (5 invaded)
(mapogo bar makhulu were 4-4.5 y.o)

1/4 othawa killed by mapogo 4/5v1
(mapogo bar makhulu were 4-5 yo)

Youngest selati male died 3v1 to majingilane (similar ages)

Selati 3 died 4v1 to majingilane (similar ages)

EORANJI
At 11 years old he survived a 4v1 onslaught against 4 of the 6 Torchwood males. He has both healed & recovered to a certain degree. Seen running around north sabi sands & in to manyeleti inserting his dominance alongside Amahle once again 🔝⚔️🦁👑

I will do another post on their accomplishments within their 6.5 year reign to date that spans from south to north in the near future 🔱

There's nothing quite like coming face to face with a magnificent male lion in the heart of the bush! 🦁

This handsome boy stood tall, quietly taking in everything around him, while his brother enjoyed a lazy moment in the background. We spent some time just watching them, soaking up the peaceful atmosphere and the privilege of sharing a little part of their world.✨️

Have you ever had one of those lion sightings you just didn't want to end? 🦁

Nature has no Mercy. Only Survival. 🩸🌿

In the endless grasslands of the Masai Mara, every meal tells a story of survival. A Golden-breasted Starling feeds on flesh, reminding us that in the Wilderness, Life and Death are two sides of the same coin. 🌍🐦

This is the RAW reality of the Wild. No Scripts. No Mercy. Just Nature.
