Olkiombo pridefn




Dear Friends,

As you can imagine how nice the mara is now after the rains, we have seen an explosion of lions cubs in every pride.
Our lions of Olkiombo pride have got 10 cubs and it looking more coming.
The pride is still intact with all females together a long side there three males.
The mash pride is doing well too however after a split some of the young are straggling to we hope they will get through this had period before the return of the pray.

Shakira at the last time I sow her she was still on the conservancy but we have not had any news of her.

The J5 all doing well Olive near the Air strip on a kill but the cubs are hidden again this time, I don't blame them with the number of cars looking at there mum.

The honey boys are still going strong indeed yesterday they were every where looking for girls, a few of them are in the area ready to mate so they are all over the place.
I had meet once again with Allana in the early morning light on my way to the marsh that was why I was late to see the marsh pride before they went in to the long grass in the mash.

The office new are real hot a lot of happening.

See you soon on the web or in Kenya.

Binti


Dear Friends,
Once again I would like to let you on habari ya Binti, last year she was pregnat and even matting have been wittiness by our officers out there in the large office.
She then went hiding for a few weeks we though yea the new cubs will be with her.
A week ago I sow her near our camp opposite side of pose in area close so no one went and see if she was with cubs or sign of cubs.
I look with my binocs and she look like she had cubs however not easy from a far distance.
We meet her two days ago no sign of having or had cubs she just look stunning I am sure she last her first litter ever.
Well being a young mother with a lot of flouds last months it could not help her but she will learn next time round.

Best wishes to you all,

Jackson Looseyia.

Olive


Dear friends,

Its nearly an hour when I so olive on our side of the river a lone its now three days since we so the cubs.
Un like the lions or cheetah cubs who are very much mum depended, leopards cubs can stay for a few days before the come together with there mother.
The cubs are both boys and soon we start giving them names so exiting between me and Paul and the rest of our officers in the mara.

We will keep you updated on the cubs,

Just yesterday we found a young male cub which was kill near the crossing area and we think the mother went too close to Notch and his boys and that was the out come poor thing.

To update you on the ridge pride boys and girls well they are doing fantastic, in the last week we have found them on two occasions with young buffaloes it is amazing to follow them now.
Right at the cross roads before they all go deferent ways with there three sisters.
