- This morning, the 3rd of November 2022, was a special one, as I shared the entire morning with Male lions, female lions and beautiful Elephants. We also visited the S26 sight where recent events took place, to have a moment of silence for the fallen Lion King. It was a special morning, as I drove right next to one of the biggest male lions I have seen. One of the Gomondwane Males, his name is "The Tank" for a reason. He was majestic and elegant, beautiful! A Safari morning to remember in the Kruger National Park!

Oh dear words seem so futile. The serenity of the bush, no sound except the birds. The majesty of a huge male with the most spectacular colors in his main confidently striding down the road. The kittenish behavior of the lioness lying on their backs with huge paws waving in the air. My ♥ is so full with the spendor of our wild heritage. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰

One has to always have the upmost respect for nature and its beautiful animals, the only way to spend true time with them. I appreciate you watching Kristie, and i wish you a fantastic day🙏❤️
Well done on getting so close to " The Tank" Thank you for sharing these amazing videos, I like just sitting down with a coffee and watching Lions on youtube, My Love or obsession started 4 years ago and I'm not quite sure how or why ( in my late 40's) I've never seen a lion in the flesh but am Grateful to people like yourself who document these Majestic, beautiful Lions.
You are most welcome, and welcome to my channel 🦁😁. Always good to see new people in my comments 🙏. I really appreciate you watching, and thank you for your kind words. Tonight's video is even more fantastic, stay tuned 🦁😁🙏 P. S We then share together, a love for them that's beyond words 😉

What a beautiful and wonderful video on this fantastic and amazing morning between nature and the enchanting harmony of life in it
Thank you very much

I love that you don't forget about the magnificent s26 fallen kings il never forget them either, they were magnificent
❤️🙏
I appreciate you watching, as always, and very happy to hear that you enjoy my footage 🙏🦁
Good morning from California ☕🦁🖐
Very good Morning Natalie😁🌍
He’s a monster! You don’t get that big and majestic by being stupid. This guy is smart as they come. You can just see it in him. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really enjoy your material. You truly have a gift for finding lions.
I really appreciate your kind words Karen. Thank you 🙏❤️. And I'm very happy to hear that you enjoy my videos 😁🦁
Just beautiful, all of it! Our lion is indeed massive & looks in great form! All of them were fascinating & so relaxing to watch the pride relaxing!
Thank you & take good care!❤
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it with me Brenda, it was truly special ☺️🦁. It's always time well spent with Lions, and watching them rule their way through a day, stunning. Take care, and thank you for watching Brenda ❤️❤️
Thanks a bunch! Wonderful sighting!
You are most welcome, i appreciate you watching 🙏😁
NICE. So cool, like we're right there! Love the natural noises..
Thank you ❤️🦁🦁
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it Russell, it was an amazing experience 🦁😁❤️. You are most welcome
And to think that massive male lion started out as a little tiny bebeh!
It's almost unbelievable🦁. He's an absolute unit, beautiful 😁
Hi another great cat day! Congrats 👏 🤗
Indeed Gina, one to remember once again 🦁🙏
i thought caspers brother Footloose was huge, i believe this big boy wins in the size department, what a beautiful lion.
Indeed Randy, Tank is really big. Footloose is big, don't get me wrong but this lion wins that race😁🦁
Thank you for another awesome video! I’m totally hooked.
You never disappoint us @ Kruger Safari and Beyond, I’m forever grateful!
Much love to you and your family ❤
I appreciate you watching Jane, and glad that you enjoy my videos. It makes me happy 😁. Hope you are well? Send my regards to family 🦁❤️❤️
Thank you for this wonderful video. He is gorgeous. I hope he isn't sought out too much because of his beauty. The late leopard Hosana was so photogenic and lovable that people looked for him and I think at times it was hard for him. I hope Tank's genetics go on to thrive so we can see more massive lions like him.
You are most welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🦁😁. He's been mating with the Vurhami females, so he's gene's will pass on for sure. Absolutely beautiful to spend tine with him, as always 😁🦁❤️
ruclips.net/video/PtN8lEi2FIc/видео.html. There's him mating ❤️🦁
Very nice vidio
Thank you very much ❤️🦁🙏
Hi you! Hope to find you well. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. And Africa is definitely beautiful. Not so much free space in this world anymore. And this is definitely the home of Africa's finest animals. Hopefully it all remains as such. May you stay safe. 🙏 💞
Hey Linda, I'm fantastic thanks, hope you are too? Couldn't agree more, its peaceful, beautiful and pure out there. My heart is in there, and will always remain that way❤️🦁
Beautiful morning, I would like to experience some like this, every day...handsome Gomondwane male💞patrolling alone his territory, these males have gained confidence and are a force to be reckoned with...beautiful pride, nice moment between these two lionesses💞
Thank you for the video KSAB😊
You are most welcome my friend. And glad you noticed the beautiful interaction between the lionesses. It was absolutely stunning to watch 🦁. The Gomo's are becoming more and more a strong force, soon with youth on their side too. Hope you are well? Keep well my friend ❤️
@@krugersafariandbeyond Thank you so much, I'm fine thank you, not too available at the moment but I always try to watch your videos. I hope you and your whole family are doing well🤗
@@krugersafariandbeyond who's females are the gomo male with ? Were they the S26 males pride ? Whats is the lion dynamic now ? Have you seen all the Gomo males since the S26 males died ? Im wondering if one or more gomo s took damage and went back to a pride to recover ?
@@DHawk06 No idea Dwaun, no idea. At this stage, many even think it was brother VS brother, and they didn't know when to stop, and lead to both their demise. But i still have a very strong feeling, that another coalition was involved, seeing there's so many lions around.
Great footage. The Gomondwane male is very impressive. Looks like the Gomondwane male who initiated the attack on the Shishangeni males. Information from another website stated today only one Shishangeni male survived the battle with the Gomondwane males.
I appreciate you watching Michael, as always. The Gomo's are truly majestic. They are strong, beautiful lions. Healthy too, which is great for their youth to come. Indeed Michael, only one survived, he was spotted last week i believe.
The sound of birds singing bring me such peace.
Mee too, i love the silence of nature 🦁
He reminds of of Sekekarmer sons!
He's a beautiful boy, that's for sure 💪🦁. One very strong lion 💪
I'm truly surprised that lions would be so close to the road. I know that you use a zoom lens, sir, but still; it amazes me that they would walk along it or even relax this close to the road. Until recently, I lived in a small town and if I heard the sound of a car backfiring I would struggle to not push to hard on the throttle of my powerchair out of panic. Lions truly are amazing animals. Truly amazing! Thanks for sharing.
They are absolutely stunning Willow, stunning. The thing is, they are born in this environment, with cars around and people watching them. Remember, they are very safe in here. If they do happen to be in the road, like this, it's rather special. Because this park is HUGE, so one is very lucky to find them like this. They love the roads, and i know exactly which roads too😁🦁. You are most welcome Willow, i appreciate you watching 🙏
Good morning to you too‼️ I love Ellies 🐘 too, that baby was adorable❣️
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it 😁. They are so special, always love my encounters with them ❤️
Great looking guy. Anyone know who he is?
Beautiful, stunning. The Dominant Gomondwane male.
tank
Indeed
Give the guy a ride, for crying out loud!
Beautiful video as always.
I'm still worried about Mo, any sightings recently?
I appreciate you watching 🙏🦁. I haven't heard anything of him since his last sighting 2 weeks ago. But I'm sure he's doing great. He's a strong lion🦁
He is a magnificent boy. Absolutely gorgeous. Pure testosterone! Is he the biggest of the seven and are all seven still alive?
Indeed, you can see the testosterone through his manes. Beautiful! He's indeed the biggest, that's why he's called, "The Tank" 🦁
6:43.... 2.1 meters (6 & 1/2 Foot) Long and 190 kg (420 lbs) is the Average of a Lion..but this one appears heavier..
Indeed Kanzee, he's called "The Tank" for a reason 😁. One massive lion this. Beautiful boy, strong and elegant 🦁💪
Why aren't Lions and even other animals not fazed by automobiles? They just go about their business but I am curious about that. Thanks for these uploads love this channel.
I love that you love this channel 😁. Makes me very happy. Remember, these lions, from birth, are used to vehicles and human silhouettes within them. So they don't mind humans or vehicles at all. However, once you leave the frame of your cars window, stuff gets tricky. They WILL attack. One needs to always give them space, and respect.
Hi, my friend, no offence whatsoever, but I (and all the animals around) can`t wait to see the change to electric vehicles, no exhaust gases, no irritating sounds. The first lodges in Southafrica give it already a try. Love the peaceful moments inbetween to just concentrate on the lovely birdsounds you have there. Enjoy your voice with that sweet southafrican accent. Spreek ook vloeiend nederlands en hou van deze spraak.
No offense taken Rolf, you are very much correct. With fuel prices in South Africa, it will be a relief to switch to electric 😁. And i agree, i too love the natural sounds, you know i do. I just had to follow our beautiful King for a bit, to show him off to the world 🦁. I appreciate your kind words, and appreciate you watching 🙏
@@krugersafariandbeyond And what a beauty he is, indeed. My wish to you for christmas are the first tenthousand subscribers, you shurely deserve it. 🌻
@@rolfwenigmann717 Highly appreciated Rolf, thank you so much 🙏
@@krugersafariandbeyond ~ So beautiful and serene at it's best. Thank you again for making such awesome videos ❤🙏🏻
It's a beautiful lion, but his *FIRST* and *FINAL* tail warning @ 4:04 should have been respected.
I gave him ample space and respect, always do. It was another guy passing me that was speeding to get a front on shot, that scared him a bit.
@@krugersafariandbeyond So that was an actual warning? Thanks for sort of confirming it.
I'm by no means a lion experts, so any movements of the tail and brief eye contact are frightening pre-attack warnings to me.
@@ritemolawbks8012 Indeed, that was a very firm warning. Hence me backing up a bit. As the video goes on, you'll see a guy speeding past me, to get a front on shot, that's what made him mad. I've followed lions for kilometers, like in my other videos, where they are not bothered. I always keep my distance, and respect these beautiful lions😁🦁
@@krugersafariandbeyond Since the lions are usually everyone's favorite animal, it's so much better seeing them in the wild and national parks, where professionals like you respect them. The ones held in captivity and cages are too depressing and miserable to enjoy viewing.
@@ritemolawbks8012 Couldn't agree with you more on that one my friend. It breaks my heart seeing lions in a zoo, they die slowly there. Here, they are free, yes, they live a very harsh life sometimes, but they are free. And it's beautiful seeing them where they belong, in nature.
As I know, there are three lions in this coalition Split nose, The Tank and Blondie? Is it fix, that the other S26 male died? Last I know was that he walks away for some miles with big issues? Thanks for answer and Greetings from Germany.
The last S26 male did not survive his fatal injuries unfortunately. It was too much for him.
@@krugersafariandbeyond I thought so but had a little hope. You know what happend with their pride and cubs?
Good evening to you. Thanks again for an awesome lion video. I love my big and small cats and also my elephants. Enjoy your evening. Do you stay nearby the Kruger Park or do you actually work there.
Good evening Monica. You are most welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😁🦁. I live just outside the park, about 10min drive every morning to the gate😁🏞️
🦁🦁😊
What an absolute battle tank he was. How many members do the gommos and hippo pools males have and are they close to each other ?
He's a machine, given him the perfect name. "The Tank". Stunning lion. The Gomo's are 4 strong and Hippo pool males are 3. They are close to each other yes Kris.
@@krugersafariandbeyond another great video as always. Do we think the gommos are the culprits for the fatalities over the last few weeks then, so there could be a showdown on the horizon 🤔 they need to stick together and not get caught outnumbered
@@krismorrin7082 Kris, one thing is for sure though, something is happening. Even the Makhohlola boys are moving in on S26 territory. I saw them yesterday, about 1km from the event. So all things are possible at this stage. That space is up for grabs
And thank you for your kind words, really appreciated 🙏😁
@@krugersafariandbeyond who would your money be on if they all stick together? It’s usually down to the numbers game and who catches who alone, the I only know about the gommos and very little on the other 2 coalitions
Thanks for the great video. Btw do you happen to know the tanks weight? Do you think he may be up in the 600s pound wise?
Hi Liz😁. You are most welcome, i appreciate you watching 🙏. Definitely up in the 600's. He's truly something else this Lion... A sight to behold 👀🙌
Just saw some footage on 'Foxys on Safari' is it your footage of the dying Lion & his cub?
Nope, they were there also. They are fantastic people 😁
@@krugersafariandbeyond Ah good 👍
Another wonderful video! I have several questions, hope that is okay: 1) The elephants were a big bonus - question is I'm assuming that a male elephant is larger than the females but from a distance, is it easy to spot a male amongst females? 2) You mentioned "The King" lion who was killed - do male lions regularly roam the countryside looking for other males to kill? Do they take over that pride then? 3) Is the male lion's mane a defense during attack to protect the throat/neck area? thanks again for all that you do.
I appreciate you watching Holger, really makes me happy that you enjoy my content 🙏🦁Elephants can be easily identified from behind, to see if it's male or female, just need to know what to look for. Very good question 😁. Lions can travel MILES at night, patrolling, scouting ect. If they do come across another male in the area, it's not always a bloodbath however. They will always first test the waters, escape if they are quick enough. They remain cats though, so territory is extremely important, and mostly turns out fatal if the oppressed lions are cornered. Look at what the Mapogo's did, they lived to kill, and that alone. And lastly, you are 100 % correct. That is indeed why the mains are there, and obviously to keep other things out as well. But due to their nature of taking over territory ect, they were built like this, created for defending territory.
Big beautiful lion. How old is he?
Beautiful indeed 🦁. He's about 8 years old, in his prime 😁
@@krugersafariandbeyond That is great! He is a beautiful cat
Indeed my brother. He's absolutely stunning, a very dominant Male in the South. Looking forward to his young ones as well.
Do you think there are too many vehicles following every move these lions make, that one car in this video even bothered me, why was he allowed to make such noise with his jeep?
You definitely get idiots in the park unfortunately. They exist 😔. But if one respects nature, you get to witness the most beautiful things. The car that passed me, did it wat too quickly.
@@krugersafariandbeyond yes what a beautiful place, all my life I dreamt of going to Africa to see these beautiful animals...I know the park needs money so they must let these idiots in and really the lions don't seem to mind the cars but how brave everyone is to not have a top on the jeep, those lions could jump in and eat you anytime they want...I could never do your job..
Oops he didn't like that.
😁🦁
Who was that male Lion ? Which coalition he's from ? I couldn't stop looking at him. He remind me of Dark Mane Majingilane.
This is the Dominant Gomondwane Male. He's beautiful isn't he? I almost didn't want to film and just take it all in. So special, to be amongst these beautiful animals 🦁
@@krugersafariandbeyond I also thought he could be from Gomondwane coalition. He's gorgeous. Btw how many Gomondwane coalitions are there ? Because I've heard that there was another Gomondwane coalition that had six males and non of them are alive anymore ?
@@Mapogo792 Indeed, those were called "The Old Gomo's", back in 2008. This is the new generation of Gomondwane males. Coalition of 6 they are. Very dominant in the southern parts of the Kruger Park 🦁
@@Mapogo792 you're talking about 6 males called the Old Gomondwane coalition and yes they are dead.
These lions are their sons, they are also colled the Gomondwane
@@krugersafariandbeyond Just like "old Fig Tree Males and new Fig Tree Males." It's become clear now , Thank you very much.
Has there been any sightings of the two poor cubs, that were eating the male? Also any sightings of the last, injured S26 male?
The last S26 male has unfortunately passed a while ago. As for the Cubs, there was a sighting of them, last week. They seem to be doing better.
@@krugersafariandbeyond awww so glad to hear the cubs are still alive.❤❤ did you ever see the injured lion again? The one that was under a bush fir 2 weeks? I thought that was the last S26 male?
Never saw him again unfortunately. Even rangers haven't, that is why the conclusion was drawn, that he had sadly passed on💔😔
@@krugersafariandbeyond 😭😭 poor boy Thank you for sharing. It's now the weekend and I can catch up on anything I've missed with on yourrchannel 🙌🙌. 😊
@@johartleyjh ❤️❤️
Is there any news about father Lubyelubye and his partners ?
Haven't seen father Lubeylubey since that morning i last saw him. But there has been sightings of him and his coalition. Seems like they are heading north. Hopefully i can find him, but i always do. 🦁
@@krugersafariandbeyond do you think they're avoiding the Gomos ?
@@issajamel6529 100%. Remember, these Gomo's, the newer generation of Gomo's, are a true force. Very Dominant males. They took over the Vurhami pride without ANY hassles.
Were you able to ID the big male?
Indeed Dennis, this is the leader of the Gomondwane lions. Splitnose if I'm not mistaken, is his name.
@@krugersafariandbeyond He's the poster boy for the dominance of a male lion in his prime...
@@dennisplante737 Couldn't agree more. Such a beautiful Male Lion. 🦁💯
Hey buddy whats up...just looking for a mate.. No stress will find one..
Because I'm the lion king 👑💙💚❣️😂😂
That he is, and this kingdom belongs to him🦁😁
@@krugersafariandbeyond
Yes 💯🦁❣️
seems like you're giving away the lions location to prey by following them thus disrupting natural laws of earth
Are you being serious? You must be new to wildlife as you are horribly wrong. What on earth are you even talking about?
