KENYA WILDLIFE SERVICE RANGERS PURPOSELY KILLED A STRAY LION

If I may ask "why did you have to shoot kill the lion!?"

The experts whom we have entrusted in taking care of our National Parks and animals have become the killers of our lions. Nine live bullets on a lion that could be tranquilised and transported back to safely in the park or be relocated to another one is unacceptable. Is it just a kind of trigger happy or a cheating the world that "you are working so hard!
For the last few years the lion population has declined so fast across Africa. Today there may be as few as 20,000 lions in Africa. Kenya has her share of about 2000 of lions and when you kill a lion is like killing Kenya because they are the face of our country as seen on the Kenyan emblem, international and domestic tourist go to see them on Kenya holiday safari and this earns local and foreign currency to our country.
We have all reasons to protect our lions and at the same time make sure that our people and their domestic animals are safe from being attacked by wild animals. What Kenya earns and receives from our friends for the purpose of conservation is okay to take care of our animals and national parks despite the fact that conservation is expensive the biggest problem is priorities, money management and may be corruption.
For more than a month we have been hearing stories of lions roaming parts of Nairobi city with no permanent solution to this problem, “how many people must be attacked by lions before Kenya Wildlife Service locks them lions in the park?” May be Nairobi National Park don’t need those lions, you can as well relocate them to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, even Tsavo East or West because all we want is for our animals to be protected, not only the lion but also the rhino, elephant and most uncommon ones.

Short Safari In Kenya

Kenya is indeed the pioneer country of “safari” this is a Swahili word that means journeying. Kiswahili language is widely spoken in East Africa and her neighbours, that’s why we have wildlife safari, birding safari, adventure safari, balloon safari, air safari etc.

While in Kenya, and you want to make a short safari tour or excursion to any of our national parks, consider the distance of that destination from the city or town you reside. For example; Tsavo East National Park is about 120 Kms away from Mombasa along the busy Mombasa Nairobi highway, if you consider entering the park through Bachuma gate our safari tour van, landrover, jeep or landcruiser may take 2hrs depending on the traffic along the highway. Considering that pick up from your hotel, apartment, airport or Mombasa sea port is as early as 06:00 hrs in most safari arrangements, then its possible to make a 1 day safari to Tsavo East from Mombasa, 2 days 1night safari, 3 Days 2 nights, 4 days 3 nights  as well.

While options are many, others may also want to try two parks in two days; Tsavo East and Taita Hills may make a good combination. That means, watching game in Tsavo East in the better part of the morning then cross over to Taita Hills after lunch to catch up with the late afternoon game vewing, you may spend a memorable night at the Saltlick Game Lodge, get more time for animals in the morning, before driving back to Mombasa after lunch.
