He was a bit young to be on his own in that region. Lurkulup has always tolerated him quite well. Eventually, he'll be pushed again, but hopefully a few months.

Some of their people have escaped and gotten a bigger taste of this world only to go back home and live in secluded luxury, which just baits at the rest of them. There is barely any law enforcement here unless you are one of these privileged people I just spoke of, and all you want is a way to support and raise up your family. Right now, that is by raising livestock, or farming, or some other off the land occupation. That puts you in direct conflict with the local inhabitants. All the animals we have come to know. Unfortunately in Kenya the livestock industry is the leading financial institution in the country and tourism is a tiny, tiny, tiny part of it. A lot of people, mostly from the West because that's how we know how to deal with certain things, are calling for boycots and all that of tourism. Im afraid this will have a terrible impact on the wildlife were striving to keep safe. An example, look at cv19, tourism basically died for a year or so and it had little to no effect in the country. Livestock was still thriving and supporting their economy. So if people are successful boycotting this will just allow more illegal grazing into the reserve and the animals will suffer greatly. I have not the answer Unfortunately. I know there are a handful of rangers/guides, most freelance guides who drive for many different lodges, who are bad apples and are contributing to this problem. They have family connections into the Narok County govt and Massai Mara Reserve administration. 2 example is Lenny Koshal, Dennis Koshal, both crooked guides who have been in the midst of many lion spearing cover ups and especially Olobor. Their family member Christine Koshal is the Madsai Mara Chief Park Administrator and is the reason many investigations by KWS get squashed. These people are a stain on the good people of Kenya.

I don't know Kenya very well, but my wife has worked for companies that are owned by citizens and former citizens of Ghanna, Togo, Liberia, and lots of West African nations. For people from the West to try and apply their secluded naive logic to the nations of Africa is really just... well, it's normal for our world these days. This is why I say about the only thing you can do is clear out all of the people, or find new ways for them to live, which would require solutions that may be less palatable to those in their comfy existences.

I think most people here (including me) have very little knowledge about locations of these prides and coalitions in Mara.
Oloimina, Oloshipa, and Lorkulup seen together patrolling their territory yesterday. They took down a buffalo later on.

With the loss of Olobor, it’s not completely out of the question for Oloshipa to continue sharing his time between the MFY Pride and Rongai Pride which could even intrigue Oloimina to join him. I also want to see how it affects Oloshipa’s mentality, sure Lorkulup and Oloimina are deserving pride males but they’re not Olobor. They don’t have that same unbeaten feeling/confidence around them.
While from the central areas the terrible news has come in series (the death of Olobor, disappearance of Nyekundo and some appalling matchete's cuts on Mdogo's body) life doesn't stop in the north either, but here at least not because of HWC...
The 3 big Sankai Boys who were expelled from Lemek Conservancy by the 4 Mara North Males 1,5 year ago then tried to live a quite restrained life in the sparsely populated Enonkishu and Olchoro Oiruwa Conservancy, now probably decided to demand back Lemek as their own from the MN males after they collected some confidence and now are in their absolute prime with their 7 years. As MN males will be 10 this year, their age probably starts to show on them slowly, especially with one of them still wasn't confirmed detected for months now so this could be a harsh rechallenge to them against these 3 larger, younger and now stronger males. These current sightings show the big brothers intruding to Lemek and make known their presence for sure. Seenka Kini and Lemurt started their journey down to Lemek  *This image is copyright of its original author Lisa Ann SheltonRight before started to roaring to show their presence the 3 majestic boys carefully looked around and surveyed the terrain firstly  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Credits thanks to Raphael Rotiken Then they're a bit scattered and remarkably walking and running all around their rivals territory  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Credits to Mattikoko safari campInteresting to see what would be the outcome of the potential clash between these two great coalitions.
Haven't heard anything after 2 days of what was the outcome between 3 Sankai boys vs MNC Boys. Im not even sure all 4 MNC Boys are with us anymore. I've been getting conflicting reports. What I can say with 100% certainty is Osidai and Oronkai are still around. Theres definitely a 3rd brother, now weather its Saruni or Ntui i cannot get a definitive answer. Time will tell. This might be why Seenka, Lemurt, and Kini travel back to Lemek, they might have sensed and advantage, possibly a chink in the MNC Boys armor.
