The Tsalala Pride was formed by two females who broke away from the Castleton Pride in 1998, believed to be pregnant at the time from mating with the West Street Males, they then gave birth and denned these seven cubs in the Sand River near Taylor’s Crossing. Initially known as the Two and Seven Pride, because of the two adults and seven cubs. This small breakaway pride then spent less and less time with their natal pride before moving further east into the western parts of Londolozi. This shift east resulted in a clash with the Sparta Pride in which three cubs were killed, from then on the Pride was known as the Two and Four Pride.

Hyenas killed one of the remaining female cubs and one of the young males had his back broken when he got too close to the action on a buffalo kill at Maidies Dam. He never gave up, and every day he dragged his back legs along as he tried to follow the pride. After a month of tirelessly slogging across the reserve, he finally succumbed. It was this kind of bravery and resilience that would become the hallmark of the Tsalala Pride.
