June's Monthly Report Now Out

You can download your copy from here.

I know I say this every month, but this month I mean it more than ever; if you like our work please consider making a donation. (Last month was quite tricky financially and there's a couple of bills that still need paying!)

For all those who wish to visit this season you will find the park ready - campsites are tidy, roads are graded, tracks mown, animals happy and migration on it's way any day now. Karibu sana!

Almost there..

Well, about halfway. Hope you all like the new website and find it easier to get around. Obviously there's quite a bit more to go up, including things like maps to every campsite, and places of interest inside and outside the Triangle.

I'm actually out of the Mara at the moment, and will be for the next few days, but once I get back I'll finish the site off. Leave a comment if there's anything you would like to see on the website.

Elsewhere, Kenyans will know that we've been attacked again by the Local MP recently, hopefully this will resolve issues and stop the allegations, and then we'll be able to get back to our work. 

And migration is on it's way, probably mid July. 

Kwa heri for now.

Don't forget to catch up with the latest from the North Side Story - Episode II out now!

Dogs, Links & Migration

The Mara Conservancy Canine Unit is now that - the dogs and the handlers are working well together, and on Wednesday they visited each Ranger Station for a briefing on how the rangers will work with the dogs and their handlers.

This Saturday there will also be a briefing at Kichwa Tembo for all managers and security staff of lodges and camps that use the Mara Triangle, followed by another briefing at Mara Safari Club in Ol Chorro.

There are a couple more links in the Mara blogosphere that should not be missed:

Definitely check out the pilot episode of The North Side Story:

In a land where Elf (the dominant female) is queen and clashes with lions are the norm, we bring you a clan. Located between the beautiful Oz Valley and the famous Mara River, this is where the drama unfolds. Known to many as “fisi,” we just call them “North.”

This is the North Side Story.

I have inside sources that tell me Episode II will be out any day now.

Elsewhere the River Researchers have managed to catch a unique case of Voyeurism: An Ostrich refusing to give a Thompson's Gazelle a little bit of privacy...

There are also rumours that the migration won't make it to Kenya this year... although I also heard this morning that it'll be here within the next two to three weeks. Start placing your bets.

The Mara Conservancy is still here..

.. in case you were wondering.

It seems some emails were sent out last week around the Mara to say that we've gone. Well we haven't, we're still here, and we're continuing with our work like always.

Dog Training at Salt Lick

These photos were taken by William Puya, who was watching the Tracker Dog Unit train near Salt Lick.

Rangers from both Iseiya and Ngiro-are were there to see the training in progress.

The training is going extrememly well, with Linda and John both very happy with the progress of the Unit.
