Trouble Mash pride

Dear Friends, Our Season is over and ready for the long rains in the Maasai Mara, As I had said on my pass Blogs that the Mash pride will have many Challenges its now proving to it, We had lost so much in this large pride in the mara, just to name a few, Red, Lisby, and White Eye and Clawed all of them had been hit by young headsmen in the park or some time just out side the park, lately was Scar thank to KWS they came on time to save his life and one other young Female, The Night Grazing that had been a lowed by the Park Authorities does not work and will never work I would suggest if the people are a lowed to graze then let them come during the day and being escorted by Rangers to make sure they go by the rules of the park or the best will be 0 grazing in the park period, Asanti Sana, Jackson Looseyia

David

For many years now I had been following Lions in the Maasai Mara game reserve and some other conservancy Like Lemek and Mara North,I also travel a lot to Mara Triangle and got to meet all this Lions Leopards and cheetah whom I had meet before and lost contact, One thing for sure cats travel, cheetahs, and lions all a like, I had meet this animals very close to the Kenya/Tanzania Boundary meaning they go to seregeti and back, David had been to the Mara North several times and back finally he has a territory with his young Half brother Nick, Notch and His sons had try to chase them out but fail because the ruling coalition of 5 now 4 have a large area to look after and soon they left to let David and Nick to rule Double cross.

This is Nick Very best Regards, Jackson Looseyia

Q what happen to her Body ?

This what had happen after we all cry and say good by to Olive, the Rangers had to do there Job and take her to the Head quoters, what will happen to her then we do not ask, it there Job, I do support our Park Rangers on what they did, on the last few years we had some problem on Poaching on the maasai Mara surrounding and if Olive is left to the natural world to take care of her, more Question could be ask, one She is one of the most famous leopards in Kenya, would some take her skin? for Trophy ? two Leopards are very beautiful cats could some still it for other use ? I agree with the Rangers now and may be later when things are 100 percent in Africa then we can live our great wildlife bodies to benefit the wild. Asante Sana and my big thank you to Solomon Koikai he did a good Job God bless you, and the rest of your Rangers Team, Salaams, Jackson Looseyia,

My Last day with Mama Olive

Solo and I could not bear it what a sad day my friends

That very night was different than any other night I lay in my tent over looking Rhino Ridge, the window of my tent are well open to a low nice flow of cool air to flow in my tent, Over head large Olive Trees shaded me and Lots of noise from the Migration out on the plains, out on the distance whooping Hyenas and the african night sounds were louder, I was a wake for a long time, And this what was going on In my Mind, " what a mistake this was, what if she run onto that Olive tree I so near here death place, may be there were more lions ? what if she run so fast into the Uclea Forest this would had not happen, it went on and on, I had to go out of my tent so many times for a short call, it was a long night for sure, We all make mistakes some we regret for life, some we we do not live to tell a story, some live dip scars on us but mistake are mistake no one is ready for it no matter what. Well Love you all, and thank you for your support my friends, Salaams Jackson Looseyia

Dear Friends, Well after a lot of silence I am now back to let you all know what is the Maasai Mara news, Two very big news and Sad Notch the king of Maasai Mara is still missing, I was guiding a well known wildlife photograph Andy Rouse for 2 weeks and Notch was on the Agenda, we did not found him even though I had refuse to accept he was not here any more I still had hope one day I will find him around the corner with his cubs as always, I so lots of cubs from Fig tree pride to Harmerkop pride, I went to find Olkeju rongai pride, Olkiombo and the river Pride Notch was no where to be found, that is when I started becoming sad indeed, We all new some day the old king will sleep, and head home to very large savanna, may he is there ?? I had From a few guides that the Park Rangers had found remains of a male Lion but if Solo was not there to prove to them that this is Notch it will be very diddicult for any one to tell it need some experts, especial when very little of him is on the ground, I still hope he is a life but my hope are running down quickly, in the wild I do not want to conclude and say its over this place is full of surprises, Just a few days ago while was parking my Mobile camp back to the store after such busy season Pius From rekero camp send me a text, OLIVE HAD BEEN FOUD DEAD KILLED BY HYENA, I got up quick get into my KAQ Toyta Head to Olkiombo area, it was beautiful morning the mara was full of wildebeest from Rhono Ridge to Double cross all heading to the east following the green grass after the rains, some how I was still thinking what had happen, I arrive to the Air Strip early when our Park Rangers are getting ready to receive there arrivals, I went to meet up with there Senior and ask if he can come with me to go and find out this news and what had had happen, He was a little hesitant and said oo may be your going to put the Internet the bad news of the predictor. I insist we have go now no more Q please, it had rain that day and the Talek crossing was sleepery but my Toyota prove to be great and no trouble crossing, 2 mins heading to the South east of Olkiombo we found Onesmas from Rekero and Solo the Ranger who new Olive the Star of Talek River, Every one was very sad very little hallow, we look at each other no words to discribes seeing Mama Olive still on the ground, no one could even touch find out what had happen to her, I was very sad indeed I had to look away very now and then just hid my wet eye from the other Gentlmen, some said to me then the Talek river will not be the Same without Olive the queen of stealth, Solo was very sad indeed I do not remember us say any thing, I quickly got glove and started to check her what had happen, I came to a congluton that she was Killed by Lions but just one lion, the super hunter had very large wounds on her head and we measured and found it was only lions had such power break her skull, I stood there when More cars arrive, some with guest and very upset guides from the Mara,and I help to load Mama Olive on the Back of the Pick up and still did not believe my eyes that Olive was not there any more, No one wave or said any thing every one went there way and say R.I.P QUEEN, This two stories had been very had for some like me who is with this animals every day, when they hunt, fight, take over Teritory play and groom there cubs, you name it, To all fans of Big Cats it's big Pole to you all and lest hope Bahati, or Saba will take Olive place but never the same again, Salaams,, Jackson Looseyia,
