The fate of the remaining Tsalala lioness has been one of the biggest concerns on everybody’s minds since the legendary sisters, the Tailed and Tailess lionesses died in February and …
The last time I saw 20 lions together was the Mhangeni pride with 12 cubs and all four Majingilane on a buffalo kill back in 2016. To round a corner …
