Lion Tracking

To reduce Human-Wildlife Conflict both within and beyond the conservancy boundaries, Mugie Conservancy have collared three lionesses in three different prides. Understanding the pride’s movements helps mitigate predator-livestock interactions that can potentially lead to human-wildlife conflict incidents.

Guests can head out with their Governors’ Mugie guide and our lion-tracking equipment to look for the collared lions.  This is a perfect opportunity to learn how modern technology is being used to conserve lion populations worldwide. Guests are also encouraged to visit the Conservancy Headquarters afterwards to see the live tracking data on a big screen in the ranger’s control room. This data is used to update the herders on the whereabouts of the lions so that they can navigate their livestock through safer areas that avoid the lions. This work was implemented in partnership with Lion Landscapes and The Kenya Wildlife Service.

Please note that the topography and simple equipment mean that tracking can be challenging and not always 100% successful in finding the lions.
