New Arrivals!
Written by Singita Guide, Marlon du Toit – Singita Kruger National Park/ Lebombo and Sweni Lodges
So, as you have all heard, there are some new additions to the Mountain Pride. A few months ago Glass (Singita Tracker) and I saw a lioness carrying a tiny, week old cub. Ever since then we have been waiting in anticipation for her to introduce the little cubs to the rest of the pride. The day finally came three days ago when to our surprise we were introduced to, not only two little ones, but to another three cubs! This now brings the number of the Mountain Pride up to twenty-three lions – incredible!
I spent the evening with the pride last night, and what an amazing experience. The cubs quickly got used to the presence of my vehicle, and I managed to capture some beautiful moments. The night ended on a high when the lionesses managed to kill two zebras. It happened too quickly to capture on camera, but the experience was unforgettable.

Wildlife – The News in Pictures
This week we have great lion cub pictures from both the Xirombe and Mountain prides courtesy of Singita Lebombo guide, Marlon du Toit.
The Xirombe pride cubs are just over five months old and exceptionally curious.
The Mountain pride cubs are just over four months old and just as curious as the Xirombe pride’s cubs.
Lionesses from the Mountain pride.
Two of the five Southern Coalition male lions. They have really started to grow into themselves and, in person, they are very large.

Our big cats – in miniature
An amazing visual of two, three week old cubs, no more than half a meter away from the vehicle.
We are truly spoiled to have so many viewings of the littlest ones on the reserves. And more cubs have been born – watch this space for more terrific photos.

The latest additions to the Singita family
The last week at Singita Kruger National Park has been nothing short of sensational! Not only were we introduced to two leopard cubs – the first in the concession in over two years – but this Saturday we met the latest additions to the Singita family, two beautiful lion cubs.
These are the first of the new lion generation, in Singita Kruger National Park, and over the next few weeks and months we can look forward to being introduced to the remaining cubs.
