Note that the male has a radio collar and according to the resident game scouts he is being tracked to monitor his movements so that he can be prevented from being lured outside the game reserve by poachers/hunters laying baited traps. Apparently he is the only male left in the area which is a concern to the well being and future of this pride of lions. We were able to approach the pride and sat with them for about fifteen minutes before we moved away.
C&C most welcome
