Netsai

Netsai was a magnificent lion, a regal ruler of his domain in Hwange National Park. He was a symbol of strength and pride, a protector of his pride and provider for his cubs. He resigned for a short period of time together with his brother Himba. Netsai was admired by tourists and revered by locals alike.

But Netsai's reign was cut short by the cold-hearted act of a trophy hunter, who prized the killing of such a beautiful creature for nothing more than a trophy. The pain and sadness that swept through the pride, and the park itself, was palpable.
