christmas updates


SHAKIRA MOJA, MBILI, AND TATU.
We have followed the Girls for a while now got to know them and have the joy to be entertain by this beautiful predators.
As we look back Shakira have done a brilliant job raising this young cheetahs, she want through had ship from lions, to hyenas human activities and even some driver guides who does not understand wildlife behavior when she want to hunt.
All in we take our hurts, and bless Shakira for keeping her family safe, feed, most important train to be in-depended.

SHAKIRA LET THEM DO THE JOB.
We don't know exactly where she is Kenya or Tanzania however she is doing well and still together.
Cheetah have a lot of problems to make it, with such competition on the ground well I think when ever we see any thing threatening cheetah we should help to make sure they survive the next day.

Out in the field we Cheetah are the most scares, there habitat is also been taken away by people.
Growing in the mara I have seen big changers I just hope we can make some wise decitions in the long run.

christmas updates



CLOWED YESTERDAY WAITING FOR HIS TERN TO MATE.
After such a long drought in Kenya we thought this boys may not suvive the presure from the cattle human conflict.
He and his mate are well to let you all know I just took this 
picture some hours ago to be prisis 
I went to laikipia and some bad news went up there that one of the males in the marsh pride have been Kill by the maasai I went metal and did not know what to say just to go and see for my self.

ROMEO LOOKING AS COOL AS EVER YESTERDAY MORNING.

I then followed who was Killed by the cattle headsman last week, going around looking for some of the males I know in the area I have found who, the young males we call them normadics have been speard to death and his bother is looking very sorry below rhino ridge.
No good news for me when we loose any lion in park for the expence of cows I still believe its an accepteble for people to graze in the park at the same time kill the preditors in there own home area.
THE MALE ON THE LEFT LOST HIS LIFE AND JUST SOW THE OTHER SOME HOURS AGO.

The headache for the two males from the marsh pride is gone for a while since this young boys would have push them out of the pride.
However the future is still very had for our pride at the marsh since this large pride go in and out of the park in such of food.

The other good news is the formation of the MARA NOTH CONSERVANCY.
As much as we like to speed up things it will not happened in Africa, we still have to go the snail way to do things right.
When this happen the marsh pride will be at the best place ever and so many of the prides who live out side the park places like Aitong, The Gorge, and the list goes on.

Salaams to you all 

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

Jackson Looseyia.

Bwana Kali



Dear all,
After such a long time we now can breath Kali is ok doing well, I think he just went on long safari but now back to his home.
To all of us its a great joy, he is now able to bring down large animals such as wildebeest on his own without the help of mama Olive or Sister Binti.
I am so glad this morning when I finally meet him again one Kilometer out of our camp towards the mara river.

So we all have a day of celebration for Bwana Kali he is doing well, Just a small wound on his neck which I think from mama hog protecting her little ones.

To let you know on the Girls Moja, Mbili, and Tatu they are all together with Shakira in the mara conservancy heading towards kichwa tembo.

Salaams to you all again.
