Ewaso Lions Fund-Raising Trip
Suggested itinerary as an indication of what can be arranged any time to suit you.
Day 1
Dinner and overnight in Nairobi.
Day 2
Morning flight from Nairobi to Samburu. Drive to a luxury tented camp close to Ewaso Lions HQ. Shivani Bhalla the founder and Executive Director of Ewaso Lions will join you for lunch in the camp.
This afternoon visit Ewaso Lions HQ. This is a simple base camp where Shivani and her small team of dedicated lion conservators live. Ewaso Lions has a comprehensive approach to protecting lions and Shivani and Jeneria will explain how they conduct their field research, monitor lions and work with the local Samburu people, including the Kids Camps. Later enjoy game drive looking for wildlife in the vicinity. Although outside the protected area of the Samburu Reserve, Westgate has the same ecosystem and so you will be looking for ‘northern’ specialities including Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich, as well as lion, leopard and elephant. If you are lucky you might catch a glimpse of aardwolf.
Day 3 & 4
Two days understanding and experiencing the core of Ewaso Lions work – putting people at the heart of lion conservation, this will include visiting a local Samburu village, and attending the Mama Simba school, a bush walk with some of the Samburu Warriors and a game drive in Samburu National Park.
The Samburu, like the Maasai, are nomadic herders and live in traditional dung and mud huts within a boma-enclosure. Their lives have changed little and each village has a chief and their wealth depends on the number of cattle, camels, sheep and goats they have. Hopefully you’ll see the younger herder girls returning from a day out in the bush with their goats, sheep and cattle.
Ewaso Lions initiated Mama Simba school and Warriors schools utilising local community schools at weekends. The ladies have now set up their own school.
Enjoy a bush walk with some of the Warriors. Dinner with Shivani and Jeneria.
Day 5
Midday flight back to Nairobi. Free time for shopping and overnight in Nairobi ready to start the Masai Mara safari with Jackson Looseyia or before connecting with you flight home.
Price on application.
