The dominant male lions in this territory have made their mark, and any wandering lions from the Kruger Park would be foolish to take them on. nThambo Tree Camp and Africa on Foot are spoilt rotten with sightings of the Trilogy males, […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/DSC_4843_Fotor-370x275.jpg "Three’s a crowd: Trilogy male lions seen together again")

![Time and time again, we’ve found the pair of Ross Breakaway lionesses feasting on warthog. Don’t be fooled, these wild pigs pack quite a bit of weight and a fully grown male can weigh up to 100kg, which is a substantial meal for the two ladies! Armed with dangerous tusks and lightning speed, warthogs are […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/DSC_4276_Fotor-370x275.jpg "Ross Lionesses: The Warthog Specialists")
