She has worked for the Kenya Wildlife Service and was a wildlife biologist with Save the Elephants. She was also involved in the 2000 CITIES conference.
Conservation out in the bush is tough with harsh and minimal field conditions. For ten years Shivani’s camp had no running water or electricity and she lived in a small inadequate tent.
Her work with the Samburu warriors – the legendry Moran, is ground-breaking, as is her schools for children and women. In recognition of this work Shivani was awarded the prestigious Whitley Award in 2014.
Her work is a life-long commitment focusing on putting people at the heart of conservation, as well as conducting a lion population census, monitoring prey and mapping lion habitats.
Shivani is passionate about what she does and wants to share her devotion to lions with anyone who shows an interest. She is a charming and engaging host. Half an hour in her company and you cannot fail to be inspired by her.
