In an intricate web of territories, the Lions of Timbavati, near the Kruger, play out their true life drama. The Sohebele Pride is ruled by Timbavati's most successful lion king, but his tenure has come to an end. He leaves behind five immature cubs and two lionesses vulnerable to the encroaching new coalition of Timbavati brothers. Young, strong and aggressive they form a new pride with three lioness sisters. For the first time on television we show the wild, live birth of their cubs. Over two years we follow these two lion prides in their quest to defend and invade territories. For the first time on television we show the wild live birth of lion cubs.
