Help save lions in Northern Kenya
Lions are a top ‘big cat’ for most nature-lovers and the ‘kings’ of the African savannah. However, lion populations are seriously on the decline. The IUCN status for the African lion is ‘vulnerable’, with an estimated 39,000 and a fall of 43% in the past 21 years, so seeing prides in the wild and observing the playfulness of cubs could be a distant memory in our lifetime. Lions living outside the ‘protective’ umbrella of national parks and game reserves are most at danger.
Hard-working organisations like Ewaso Lions are dedicated to protecting lion populations bordering Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserves in northern Kenya, where habitat loss and human-lion conflict is greatest. Ewaso Lions puts local people at the heart of lion conservation with a range of educational programmes for the Samburu communities, as well as researching pride movements, conducting lion censuses and establishing lion-safe habitats.
To celebrate Ewaso Lions 10th Anniversary there is a special one-off Lion Conservation Safari in June 2017 that will financially support their on-going work. This is your chance to personally contribute to the sustainable future of lions in Kenya whilst enjoying an unrivalled experience that is far removed a ‘typical’ tourist safari. You will experience lion conservation first hand, meet local Samburu Warriors, Mama Simbas and children attending a Lions Kids Camp, and enjoy personalised game drives with Shivani Bhalla in Samburu and Jackson Looseyia of ‘Big Cat Diary’ fame in the Masai Mara.
