DeWetsWild conducted a two-week tour of the Kruger National Park with altogether nine people to see out 2025 and ring in 2026 and every day for the month of February I’ll be sharing just a few of the many memories our group collected.
For the entire two week period we were in the Satara area a coalition of two male Lions were using the immediate surroundings of Nsemani Dam as a mating place. Considering that the mating process usually lasts about 3-5 days this means the two of them must have mated with at least 3 or 4 females in that period. It is not unusual for the mature females in a pride to synchronize their oestrus cycles in this way, as it is easier for them to raise the cubs co-operatively if they are all similarly sized.
If you’d like to join me on a guided tour of South Africa’s wild places, of even if you’d just like a bit of help putting your reservations together, don’t hesitate to reach out!
