New Lion Released at Samara Private Game Reserve
A new lion has been released at the Samara Private Game Reserve, in the Karoo. The lion comes from Marakele National Park in Limpopo, and is about seven years old. He has been held in a boma for the past few weeks, in order for him to acclimatise to his new surroundings. Wildlife is periodically transferred to and from Samara, in order to ensure genetic diversity.
