Romeo is also a very large Renegade lion! 🦁🔥
We always talk about Waziba and his impressive size — he’s the biggest of the Renegades — but his hindquarters are a bit smaller compared to the front of his body. This gives him a slightly asymmetrical look.
However, Romeo and Pretty Boy II don’t have that physical trait. In fact, sometimes Waziba even looks like he has a shorter body.
But anyway, here’s Romeo — another giant Renegade. The blood of Matsumi and Sekekama runs through his veins. He has created another GREAT CAT!

Mad Eye and Pretty Boy enter Tom Tom territory: it’s a power takeover! 🦁🔥
The two Ngoma males have stepped directly into the Tom Tom males’ territory (Caller and Tom).
This has been unfolding for just over a week.
One of the Ngoma males, believed to be Mad Eye, has a wound on his face near the eye.
The other male shows no visible injuries.
Both are in excellent physical condition, clearly superior to the Tom Tom lions, who are now older.
Though still feeding well, they have lost the muscle mass and dominant posture they once had.
According to Ranger Gal, the Tom Tom males are currently missing.
However, we at @botswanalions spotted Tom, the black-maned lion, a week ago.
We also found another sighting of Caller, the blond-maned one, with a damaged eye, though we’re uncertain of the footage’s date.
What will happen next?

Gaam, this lion is truly one to fear! 🦁❄️
With a piercing, cold stare toward his rivals, he is also a ruthless hyena slayer, honoring the legacy of this land where N'thwaidumela—the HYENA KILLER—once ruled!
In late 2023, a hyena tried to take advantage of Tsunami’s weakness (Gaam's brother), who was injured after fighting against the Renegades and Sekoti.
Both males reacted instantly and killed her. Without hesitation, Tsunami began devouring the hyena.
By the end of 2024, they killed another hyena — and surely, there are many more in their record! ⚔️

GOOD NEWS – SEKEKAMA'S BLOODLINE LIVES ON!
A recent sighting of one of the Golden Boys shows that the males are still doing well—well, at least one of them, who appears to be Xhaoo (recognizable by the torn ear).
This lion has a very blond mane, which is unusual for his age—he’s already around six years old. However, that doesn’t surprise me. Why? Because Sekekama looked just like them in his youth, with a full and golden mane!
Oh yes, hail the King! Born into the MARSH PRIDE, or at least a part of it. Say hello to the younger brother of Sekoti, of Tsekedi, of the Renegades, of Phakara, and many others—because Sekekama created beasts that do not fall easily!

The Famous Lion Sekoti — Update!
People remain concerned about Sekoti’s situation, and I regret to inform you that he still hasn’t reappeared. However, his death cannot be confirmed.
Botswana is a vast land. Lions often vanish — they shift territories, die in fights, or sadly, get hunted.
Sekoti was last seen and photographed in December, and the photo accompanying this post was taken at that time. As you can see, his condition had improved, and in January, it was reported that he was looking excellent.
Sekoti moved south of his territory in the final days of December or early January, and it was during those weeks that he disappeared. Interestingly, Romeo also moved further south, distancing himself from his brothers, taking two lionesses and some cubs with him.
In January, it was mentioned that Sekoti was seen in the south alongside younger males — his sons.
Over the past few months, Romeo’s relationship with his other two brothers, Waziba and Pretty Boy II, had become problematic. There were multiple fights. It’s unclear why, but Romeo displayed aggression whenever the other two Renegades approached the cubs. That may have been the reason he moved south for nearly four months — and perhaps Sekoti followed him, until he vanished.
There have been very few lion sightings in Savuti this year.
Just a few weeks ago, we didn’t know what had happened to Sekoti’s sons and the other Renegades. Waziba and Pretty Boy II hadn’t been seen for nearly two months, just like the southern males.
We shouldn't jump to conclusions — we just need to wait.
Guides in Botswana will not go out searching for a specific lion, especially one they likely assume is dead. They won’t track him daily like in other reserves or parks, such as the Maasai Mara or Sabi Sands, where lions are closely monitored for conservation or tourism purposes.
Sekoti might still be alive, possibly living as a nomad after the coalition’s bonds were broken. Romeo just rejoined his brothers this month, which suggests there may have been recent changes. Sekoti could also have fallen in a fight with other males — we simply don’t know. Right now, the grasslands in Savuti are very tall, making it difficult for guides to spot lions from a distance.
So let’s remain calm, and keep hope alive.
Sekekama also disappeared for months… and came back. His son, now around 14 years old, was gone for over a year and reappeared this month. Even the old Xini males, now 16 years old, vanished for months and later showed up again.

The beast with a full stomach!
Waziba, the heir and leader of the North, accompanied by his two iron claws: Romeo and Pretty Boy II, who await the return of Sekoti.
We will soon share an update on Sekoti and some possible theories behind his disappearance over the past few months.

Oh yes, Waziba is still the King!
Just a few days ago, our Waziba was seen enjoying a massive feast: a buffalo!
Romeo and part of the Northern Pride were also present, but @Julirodri95 reports that Waziba didn’t let any other lion approach the feast—at least not until he was fully satisfied and left the leftovers for the rest.
Pretty Boy II was also seen nearby, calling for his brothers as night fell.
After several months, we finally saw the Northern Pride reunited, with most of its members.
And this was all thanks to @Julirodri95, who kindly shared her photos and videos with us.
It’s great to know that Romeo has rejoined the others, bringing along his two lionesses and cubs.
And it’s also a great sign that the male offspring of the Renegades and Sekoti are still living under their fathers’ protection.

Five males! The legacy of the King...
Sekekama’s blood continues to form alliances—this time, five males!
After months without sightings, we finally managed to see the full group of Northern lions—or at least part of it: the younger ones.
This time, we were able to count the males, and it appears there are five, sons of Sekoti and the Renegades.
There might even be one more… we’ll have to wait to confirm that.

All hail the king: Waziba, the King Zaza!
"Zaza" or "Za" is a shortened name for Waziba. Guides sometimes use it affectionately to refer to him.
This is what Thalefang Charles explained to us a few months ago.

Official Website of the Sekekama lion, the most famous lion of National Geographic!
What is Sekekama - Savage Kingdom? It is a channel dedicated to uploading videos and documenting the stories of Botswana's predators, especially lions. Our goal is to ensure that each image or video does not become forgotten as a lost file on the internet, which is why we decided to share it through our social networks, narrating a story and, of course, always giving proper credit to their respective authors.
