Joint Patrols with the guides from Kichwa Tembo
Category: Lodges & Camps | Date: Jun 30 2008 | By: Kimojino
We would like to commend the management of Kichwa Tembo for taking the initiative to work more closely with the Mara Conservancy. For the last week I have been taken out guides from Kichwa Tembo. So far I have had four groups of guides and trainee guides who have accompanied me on an anti-animal harassment patrol and also a tour of the Triangle.
Guides from Kichwa Tembo
It has been a very good experience, with both the guides and myself thoroughly enjoying the time spent together. They learned and understood why we stop guides from harassing animals and also why it is important to not offroad around the Mara Triangle. Also, they were very happy because I took them all around the park, and showed them parts of the Triangle that they have never before explored, and which they can now in turn show to their guests all of the beautiful places that are here.

They also learned that there are so many animals and other tourist attractions in every part of the Mara Triangle.
I appreciated their coming on the patrols, and I believe that there cooperation will benefit both sides enormously in the future.
I also encourage other camps and lodges to partake in this experience.

Good news. This shows that the folks at KTC are definitely wanting to do what is right as far as the Mara. It’s unfortunate what happened a couple of weeks ago, so lessons learned and hopefully other camps will follow with you offering to show them around. I’d like one of those ’special’ tours when I arrive in September…..hint, hint :>)

This is really good to read. What happened a few weeks ago is sad but it has also good things for now and for the future, like the patrols with the guides!

Good news…
We are happy to welcome this new group. We are certain that it will carry out a splendid work for the defense of the animals, nature and their country. Don’t forget that Joseph Kimojino is an extraordinary man and a big ranger. Do not forget, also, that the people of France look at you and are proud you.

Hooray for KTC, I always knew they were the best guides. Now they will be outstanding. It is so great to see all of you working together, it will only enhance the positive for the Mara and the animals. I vote with Dana, Arizona her and I will see all of you in September, would love one of those trips ourselves, lol
Keep of the great work of protecting the Mara
