Found the lions on a zebra kill. Two large males, females, 8 month old and 3 month old cubs. Much bigger than the little ones we saw at Makanyi. Very different behavior between the prides.

Makanyi was a pride where everyone seemed to get along. Cubs climbing all over all the adults. Older and young cubs about the same age playing together. Male very tolerant of the cubs. No real aggression just motherly discipline with the cubs.

Tswalu pride totally different. Mother of the little cubs not allowing some of the other lions to be around her cubs. Lots of growling and charging with aggression. The big male growled a lot and at time hit or violently chased the larger cubs off the kill. The larger cubs and small cubs had unpleasant interactions as well.

It was a great sighting due to all this aggression between members of the pride. The behavior of the animals is what makes a safari so fascinating.

Now on the menu are meerkats and a cheetah and her two cubs. Hope we get that all accomplished.

Update. Cheetah and cubs not found. But most of us saw four male cheetahs. Very cold and windy here today. We leave Tswalu tomorrow.
