Remembering the Kings of Namiri Plains: The Tragic End of Snyggve and Tryggve, Iconic Lions of Serengeti National Park

 The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is one of the most biodiverse areas in the world, home to some of the most magnificent creatures on the planet. But with beauty and diversity comes loss and tragedy, and the recent news of the death of Snyggve and Tryggve, two of the most impressive lions on Namiri Plains, has left a deep void in the animal kingdom.




Snyggve and Tryggve were sons of the famous lions C-boy and Hildur and had reigned over the plains for over seven years. They were iconic lions, having conquered pride after pride and sired many cubs. Their presence was always felt, and their roars could be heard from miles away. They were a symbol of strength and resilience, a reminder of the power and beauty of nature.

Their reign, however, ended tragically when Snyggve was killed by three young males who were part of a coalition of seven. It is assumed that his brother Tryggve met the same fate. This great loss has left a deep impact on the animal community and all those who were privileged enough to have seen these magnificent creatures in their prime.



While it is devastating to lose such iconic animals, it is important to note that this is a natural part of the animal kingdom. Lions, like all animals, have a lifespan and must compete for resources and territory. The young males who killed Snyggve and Tryggve were only doing what comes naturally to them - seeking to establish their dominance and expand their territory.

However, this loss also highlights the importance of wildlife conservation efforts. The Serengeti National Park has been successful in protecting and preserving the wildlife in the area, but there is still more work to be done. The threats facing wildlife, such as habitat loss and poaching, continue to be a challenge that needs to be addressed.

As we bid farewell to the Kings of Namiri, we honor their memory by continuing to protect and conserve the wildlife of the Serengeti National Park. It is up to us to ensure that future generations can also experience the majesty and wonder of these incredible creatures.

The Tragic Loss of Blondie: Another Oxford-Tracked Lion Killed by Trophy Hunters

In a chilling repeat of history, another lion carefully studied and GPS-tracked by Oxford University researchers has been killed by a trophy hunter in Zimbabwe. The lion, affectionately known as Blondie, was part of a long-term conservation study in Hwange National Park—a name that may sound familiar to those who remember the death of Cecil the Lion in 2015. This new tragedy highlights the ongoing dangers faced by even the most closely monitored wildlife, and the urgent need for stronger protections around national parks and conservation areas. Who Was Blondie? Blondie was a magnificent, five-year-old male lion, tracked by the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) of Oxford University. Recognized for his striking appearance and dominant presence, Blondie played a crucial role in the social structure of his pride. His GPS collar was not just a research tool—it was a symbol of hope, intended to safeguard him from harm by signaling his monitored status. Sadly, that did not stop wh...

In Memory of the Limping Monwana Male: A True Survivor

  It is with a heavy heart that we share the somber news of the passing of the Limping Monwana male, a lion who embodied resilience and survival against all odds. Born in early 2016, the Monwana males were fathered by the mighty Black Dam male, one of the largest and most formidable lions of his time. From a young age, these brothers exhibited remarkable aggression and strength. By 2020, their dominance was so pronounced that they were rumored to have killed their own father, claiming control over the Giraffe pride in Timbavati. Tragedy struck in early 2021 when the healthier of the two Monwana males was found deceased, with only a small portion of his face left for identification. This event marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Limping Monwana, who sustained an injury that would become a defining feature of his life. Despite his initial limp, the Limping Monwana evolved into a nomad, traveling alone and facing numerous challenges. His injury worsened over time, but his sp...
