Lion Guardians

Category: lion research fieldwork | Date: Nov 20 2007 | By: admin

Yesterday, we went out tracking. It is still raining in this part of the ranch and we worried that we may not be able to track most of the lions. Surprisingly however, by nine in the morning, we had found all the common collared lions in our group ranch. Furthermore, it was still early enough to attempt a cross over into the neighbouring ranch and track the lions on that side.

We were able to do that and return to camp before rain locked us out. We had found all the lions except one. That’s a record we will have to work hard to break for a while, especially in this season!

For today, we are grounded at camp. It rained very heavily yesterday night and we dare not venture into the bush today. It is actually still raining outside…so we sit and wait for Anthony who is coming back today from his New York safari. We can’t wait to hear his experiences.

Best regards

Ernest
