In the office

HONEY BOYS HAVING LUNCH.

Hi all,
In the last week we have been so busy following our big cats starting from the mash pride, shakira, honey boys, notch club, and the J5.
We had a funtastic week i must say the only succesful one on hunting as we watch was Shakira, honey boys, and Olive the mash pride in three atempt all fail poor things they need some thing soon.
However the pride is looking great no threat of hunger plenty in the mash it just a matter of when.
The Honey boys we not far from the pride but they succesfully got a young warthog in the mildle of the day but the mash lions had no clue.
The mash was full of elephant every conner there groups of tens twenty this time was one the best to be in the maasai mara the weather is great not a drop of rain blue sky just lovely.

NOTCH OLDER BOY.

Notch boys and there father on the other had have been succesful thy found a dead hippo near the main crossing and just imagine this heavy wait boys after a large meal they look like your Rugby players powerful looking boys we couldent go one game drive without sending some one to see how they are doing.

The Cheetah with Older cubs is now called Serena from most of the guids most of them agree she is a kike doughter.
She have have cross to the triagle a day ago and I think she is try to get away from the cubs they don't need mum now any day they will be independent.
MIUJISA 
Miujisa on the other hand have got some good news from our friends of Big cat a lot of people have given money for her new home and I have been given so many contact of specialist arround africa.
I had told saningo that Miujisa will have a good larger home very soon all of us with her and her late mum will be happy to we are doing something for only severer cub.
The website is up and running you can now log on. www.masaimarafunds.com. Paula did a good Job very fast that is what we need people who can take actions very fast.
John have been also working had in UK to answer some of your Q and I have been busy too from kenya to make sure every thing send to Miujisa goes to her account. 
This week will be good coz I m not too busy I will make some progress and you will be posted on how much we have raise and when are starting to construct her new home.

I was shock by they news of the females lion in the mash pride as far as I know we have not lost any of the members so far.
Red, White eye, Lesby, Bibi, and the three Grasses are all well including the both Males.
No one should worry at all about them it was a false alarm.
Thank you my friends for Looking after miujisa.
Salaams Jackson.

Thank you for a particularly good update Jackson. Brilliant pic of Honey's boys and one of Notch's boys. I completely agree that Paula has done a brilliant job and Miujisa's late mum, who we at Big Cat Fanz are calling Moyo, will be very happy.

I am so pleased that none of the Marsh pride have died - I was very worried as I have a soft spot for these females, particularly White Eye and Red. I hope the pride get a good meal soon! Great news that one of the 3 Graces have cubs. Hopefully see a picture of them soon.

Thanks for the picture of Miujisa too - the little darling still looks a bit scared but then who can blame her - it breaks my heart to think of what she saw and what she went through. I, like everyone else here, will do all I possibly can to help her get through this and grow up to be a brave cheetah like her most courageous mum.

Finally (I think hehe) I am over the moon that it looks like the cheetah mother known as Serena is actually Kike's daughter! That will explain the fondness of jumping on the vehicles! Kike has a very special place in my heart and its great to know that she lives on in another feisty cheetah mum!

Thanks again Jackson - and love to you in your most beautiful office.

Thanks for spreading the news about the fundraising site, I am sure we will all do what we can to help Miujisa get a bigger home soon! I am so glad you are recieving funds already! Thats such a good start for her.
Glad to know all is well in the Mara, Including all of the marsh pride, that is a relief!
Lovely pictures you have here, and a great update on many of them x
Again thanks for all the information you have given us on Miujisa and your pictures.

How much funds alltogether would we need to raise to help Miujisa have a bigger enclosure? Its just so we know when will be close to target :P

Best wishes,
Paula - BigCatFanz

Jambo Jackson,

Good news all around and Miujisa's fundraising website is up and running. Great.

So Serena is probably Kike's daughter - hence the jumping on vehicles.

Asante sana for another great update.

Salaams.

Hi Jackson,

Thanks again for the great pics and great updates!

I've been away from your blog a couple of weeks, and without thinking just posted an idea for Miujiza way back (where you may no longer find it).

Here goes; hope it's useful -

Hi Jackson,

She's gorgeous and she deserves a great life - so I couldn't agree more with what's been said.

As well as straightforward giving, do you think it's worth looking at something like 'ethical gifts'?

It's a concept that Oxfam have been successfully using; the idea is that people who want to buy friends or relatives a present (Christmas, birthdays etc.) give money to one of Oxfam's projects, in return for a gift certificate or small token (e.g. picture related to the project) that they then give to the friend or relative.

It seems to work well - and I'm sure Miujiza would be happy enough to pose for some postcards and mousepads and things!
