The Trilogy are a coalition of three male lions in their prime, and guests from both Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp are privileged to see these magnificent lions. After displacing The Good and The Bad (the Ross prides previous dominant lions) they have slowly become more prominent in the area. Initially we were not sure if they would stick around, however it seems that they are here to stay.
Currently the Trilogy are actively mating with the two Ross Pride Breakaway females, and it is assumed with the Giraffe Pride females. Just the other day one of the Trilogy was mating with a lioness with a collar which we understand to be from the Giraffe Pride. In addition, we speculate that they could also be mating with another unknown pride on the western border of Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp.
The only pride actively avoiding them are the Ross Pride females as they have some cubs that the Trilogy would not hesitate to kill in order to bring the lionesses into oestrus. Perhaps the two Ross females that spend time on their own is a strategy to draw the attention of the Trilogy away from the Ross pride with cubs?
