Rare sight of white lion cubs captured in the KNP
Two rare, white lion cubs were spotted in the Kruger National Park today.

A rare sighting of two white lion cubs was captured on camera today by Thomas Ngobeni, a freelance guide in Kruger National Park. Ngobeni said that he is frequently based at Timbavati Safari Lodge and does his game drives around Manyeleti Game Reserve, Orpen and Satara area.

He said that he had a great sighting day by spotting plenty of elephants, two cheetahs, some buffaloes, a leopard eating his impala and lots of other game.

All of this didn’t come close to the rare sighting of the white lion cub. Ngobeni said that this pride roams around the Orpen camp and Nghala camp and is usually very scarce. He also mentioned that the two cubs were different ages ranging from four to six months.

They must be offspring of the white male which is seen around quite often, I think -O-
