Lion Guardian gets married!
Saturday was a special day for one Lion Guardian. Apart from me, our youngest Lion Guardian Solonka Sakimpa was the only one not married. But this Saturday we were all very pleased to celebrate his wedding with him. Early in the morning we went to pick up his new wife from Mbirikani village, which is…
Still searching for lion cubs
The story of finding our collared lion Nemasi has been going on for some time now. We are desperate to see whether she still has all three of her cubs with her. A young lion was found dead close to the area she has been residing in recently and we haven’t managed to see any…
Lion Guardians Wanted!!
For the last three days I have been busy trying to get things started with the new Lion Guardians projects on our neighbouring group ranches Eselenkei and Olgulului. In the past, these two ranches have been significant in finishing off the few lions that still roam the vast Maasai plains. They are larger and will…
Antony’s going to Oxford University!
It was a dream come true when I was accepted into the University of Oxford. It has been my goal to continue with my education since I finished High School in 2003, but little did I know that I could end up at one of the world’s best universities! The Postgraduate Diploma in International Wildlife…

We looked for lion cubs and found a leopard! And we have camera trap photos!
The search for Nemasi’s cubs continues…… Just by the edge of the thick lava forest we found a young eland that had been killed the previous day by what looked like young lions (from the tracks). We were very excited! But as we had no luck seeing the very secretive lions previously we decided to ask…
Lion Guardians on NPR Day to Day program today!
Yesterday and today the work of Living with Lions features on Alex Chadwick’s Day to Day radio program, which airs in the US. Alex came to visit us back in June and we told him all about the critical decline in lion populations outside national parks in Kenya and showed him what Living with Lions…
The search for the lion cubs continues…
We are still searching hard for Nemasi, the female collared lion, to see whether she has three cubs with her, or whether the young lion that was found dead might be one of her cubs. We had found her signal in the morning, and seen her and a collared male lion, but did not see…
