No , this is not a report on some named and collared Lion. I think we've all just about had enough of that. I'm in between hunts. I woke up this morning to a wet , cold , overcast day. Strange weather for us here in the lowveld this time of the year. I rounded up the family and we decided to have brunch in Kruger. We were treated to the normal array of game like Wildebeest , Zebra , Giraffe , Buffalo , Elephant and such. This guy however caught our attention. Lying out in the wet grass , he was looking very sternly in one direction. Before long we saw the focus of his attention - His partner , they were obviously a coalition. Two very fine mature male lions. What a site. The 2 Males casually approached each other. Then one of my sons drew my attention to another Big Male approaching them from the left. 3 males ! Absolutely awesome ! The Big boy on the left is obviously in a class of his own. My obsession with Kruger and its wildlife is well known. This place is so special. I feel very fortunate to be able to " quickly " go for brunch with the family and run into this on the way. Lets hope this paradise stays preserved for generations to come. | ||

And Jan in your opinion what age are those Lions? Indeed in my 40 years in the wild I have never come across such as those. Even in Kenya. ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||

You got that right Jan. Just like here, I never get tired of Yellowstone " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

Awesome Jan, These lion male coalitions sure make for impresive sightings. I will be at Pretoriuskop late in October for a couple of nights to get my Kruger fix...

Andrew , I'm no expert on aging Lions , I'm sure there are members here that are better at that . My gut feeling says around 7 years old. I don't know if the picture show this properly but 2 of them had huge bodies. Real Brutes. I bet MS wouldn't put one of these big boys on his shoulders ... Now Aaron , he might... Actually lions of this quality are not rare in Kruger. We often see them darker than these. The Genetics in Kruger are great. The biggest coalition I've seen there was , I believe , 5 males. | |||
