Two New Cubs
Category: Lions | Date: Sep 30 2008 | By: ewasolions
Nashipai, my favourite lioness, has 2 cubs! They were seen on the 23rd of August near the Hippo Circuit not far from where Nabo and her 3 little ones have been seen often.
It is great to finally see Nashipai with cubs. They were about 8 weeks old when first sighted. Since then, she has stayed in the core area of Samburu, hiding the cubs often when hunting with Nabo and Uni.
Nashipai hasn’t had cubs since 2005 and her last cubs moved out of the reserve in May 2006. Since then she has mainly been with Nabo her sister, or alone. Everyone is thrilled to have more cubs in the reserve after not having seen any for years.
