(males from Selati pride). (5 years 4months)

This young but strong coalition is beginning to really stamp its mark on the southern parts of the reserve. They are now starting to move out of their traditional area to the west of the Sand River and into Charleston, the domain of the Charleston pride. This month they were seen at least once to mate with a Charleston pride lioness. As they grow and become stronger still, they will expand this territory until they are content or until a new challenger arrives to stop them.

Golf Course males: (males from Selati pride - 5 years 1 month)

These males are the cubs of the Selati pride, they are now five years old and haven’t been kicked out by the pride and so they have taken over the pride. They have now been named the Golf Course males and look to be territorial over the Selati pride and their territory.
