My name is Jackson Looseyia. I was born in 1967 in the heart of the Masai Mara, so grew up surrounded by wildlife. From an early age I found it a source of inspiration, and tracking wild animals is in my blood - I come from a long line of master hunters and trackers.
At this moment I'm still working on the BBC's Big Cat Live and the Big Cat Raw webcast that occurs straight afterwards. But, because I've enjoyed the experience so much, I've decided to create this blog to keep all my new friends posted on the cats and other characters of the Masai Mara.
This blog might be a bit rough and ready, but stay with it - the Big Cat web team set it up for me in minutes. So, I haven't had time yet to see how it all works, but together I'm sure we can work it out.

Jackson, you are an inspiration and a credit to humanity for giving us an insight into animal behaviour and conservation. I hope you have a prosperous and healthy end to the year, and i hope we can see you on television again. Please keep us all up to date with life in the Mara.

Hi, Jackson.
Great idea with the blog! I will be following all your entries. Keep up the good work. :)
Brilliant Jackson - I'm so happy you have a blog because after Big Cat finishes I was feeling really upset that you'd disappear! Not any more though! x

you are wonderful. It has been a real pleasure watching you on our screens. Thank you. It is great that you know how lucky you are to have your life. Wish there were more people in the world like you. I am a professional falconer. If you ever come to the UK it would be a pleasure to take you out hunting with Golden Eagles. I am sure you would love it. Have a look at my website www.experiencefalconry.co.uk.

Jambo Jackson,
So great that you are doing this so we can keep up to date with the cats.
Loved listening to you on BCL.
It was lovely to be sat in my office listening and watching yours on the webcams. I've visited the Mara and can't wait to get back but in the meantime it was great to have a fix via big cat and thank you to the whole team for that. I look forward to your up dates and seeing you on Big cat next time.

Hello Jackson, may i say you are a great addition to the Big Cat team and i think the work you do is amazing.
It was sad that the wencams had to be turned off. Maybe you should get yourself a webcam and position it somewhere good for us, hehe.
Thanks for the blog, you have made many people happy.
Keep up the good work Jackson.
Good Show Jackson
I look forward to following your progress.
GOOD LUCK!
Robin.

Big Cat Live is a wonderful insight into your "office" for all those people who will never be able to witness it themselves.
Jambo Jackson.
Great news that you are doing aa blog for us all to keep up with news from your "office". Thank you for the great job that you have done on Big Cat Live. It is a privilege to be able to see into the nocturnal world of all these beautiful animals.

Hi jackson,
Just want to say how much my family and I enjoyed your contribution to Big Cat Live, you brought something special to the programme and were a joy to watch.
Our 3 and a half year old daughter
especially enjoyed the programme and learned so much from you and the rest of the fabulous team. She now wants to visit the Mara and see your amazing country for herself. We hope to make it over one day!
Looking forward to any updates you can give us on our favourite characters from the show and news in general from the Mara.
Sending you warm wishes from Bonnie Scotland.
Thank you Jackson.
