# Two male lions from Kgalagadi’s Twee Rivieren section have been released into the Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape, after weeks of acclimatising in a boma. Their arrival follows the recent introduction of two lionesses from !Khamab Reserve, boosting genetic diversity. This brings the total number of lions at Addo to nine. Meanwhile, two older males, Niklaas and Witwarm, have been relocated to Mountain Zebra National Park, also in the Eastern Cape, before release.
