South African National Parks spokesperson Reynold Thakhuli says, so far, there’ve been no sighting of the feline.
He will be moved into a boma within an existing enclosure in the Kuzuko contractual section.
Kenyan rangers shot dead a male lion yesterday and later found another which had been speared to death.
The three-year-old lion has been on the run for several days and has apparently killed a cow.
The lion was the third in recent weeks to stray from Nairobi National Park on the outskirts of the capital.
Police received dozens of calls reporting lion sightings.
SANParks says teams are optimistic after adding 15 professional trackers and 6 sniffer dogs to the search.
A search team from Beaufort West has tried to lure the animal using a hartebeest carcass.
SANParks rangers and trackers managed to corner the animal, but it still managed to evade them.
The lion went missing from the Karoo National Park last Friday after escaping through a hole in a fence.
