Magnificent Southern Matimbas The most successful duo in the lion world..

  • 5 years ago
The 6 Matimba's came from Ngala. 5 Matimba's came from the Birmingham pride and the 6th male(Nduna) came from a single lioness. 2 Matimba's ruled Southern Manyeleti and Northern Sabi Sands. The other 3 Matimba's rule Northern Manyeleti, Ngala Game Reserve and Orpen Camp in Kruger.

The two Matimbas which ruled Southern Manyeleti and Northern Sabi Sands are mighty Hairy Belly and Ginger Matimba. They are one of the most successful coalition and sired so many cubs.

In the mid of 2015 they were ousted by Birmingham Boys who also came from the same pride as that of Matimbas. Currently they are leading a nomadic life..
