We appreciate your updates on the Sabi Sands coalition front. Very informative on the whereabouts of those characters we hardly see in any of the other channels regarding this topic. Thank you thank you for paying tribute to Purple Eye her memory shall live forever in our hearts.

[@3Chaddibuddies]

Can u plz post e every month .. it will be good to know more about these lions . I have been following u since 2 years

How does SCAR know what’s going on? Is there a TV about these lions? Where does he get the info?

If the tsalala female can revive this legendary coalition she will be remembered as a true warrior! I’m routing for her

[@ochoaguillermo638]

She is apparently with the Mhangenie pride who the female might be pregnant who has been seen with the Birmingham’s male lion I wonder if it is the same lioness. The Birmingham’s male lion has been with the young Othowa lioness and the Ximguewe pride excuse my spelling.

I know a lot people Hate the Majingilane but, because of them the Lion population is growing. They sired so many females that the Whole Sabi sand have enough females now. And the Lion population becomes bigger. Btw. Gingerella and tsalala needs to team up would be a dream team 😁

I agree with you about the offsprings of the Majingilanes. These lionesses will become legends like their fathers ❣️

[@patrickogara3734]

I can't figure out why the majingilane lions were hated, but Darkmane and his brothers dominated for 8 years and there are a lot off lions that have there blood in them, especially the Kabula pride and they will be a huge coalition with some luck.

Initial reports suggested there were possibly 3 or even 4 males. But I guess there were only 2. They might have confused Ndhzenga males as part of this coalition back then as it was all chaos and lions were running around all over the place.

[@tak-475]

I thought the Gajima males who attacked one of the N'twashakas were a coalition of 3 not 2. What happened to that 3rd one.?
