The Southern Conservation Area and the Amboseli Ecosystem experienced a dry period, followed by sporadic showers of rain in September 2025. October and November were marked by cold, dry weather followed by a mix of dry and rainy periods, and sporadic showers of rain.
Few cases were attended to as, due to weather changes, many animals moved out of the park. The vet team also took annual leave, and most of the cases were forwarded to the Tsavo Team. Two elephants that were known for persistent crop raiding were captured, collared and moved to Tsavo East National Park. Two orphaned elephant calves were rescued from Amboseli and moved to Kaluku or Nairobi for care. Three elephants were treated for spear wounds, and a postmortem was conducted on a lion that died from territorial fight wounds. The vet in charge of AMVU also attended a consultative seminar in Nanyuki on the proposed introduction of the endangered Bongo into the Ragati-Chehe forests in Mt Kenya.
