Today was a very exciting day at Thanda Safari. The Lion leadership changed with the arrival of two new dominant males from a game reserve in the Eastern Cape.
I photographed the arrival of these two beautiful and large cats, which replace Thanda’s current dominant Lion. He is moving to a new home in another Big Five Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal.
This change ensures that the Lion genes at Thanda remain strong.
The two four-year-old brothers will stay in a boma (enclosed area) for a while so they can get used to their new surroundings.
