Rift Valley Mobile Veterinary Unit Report for February 2022

Published on the 15th of March, 2022

Many parts of Lake Naivasha and the Central Rift Conservation Area have received sporadic showers. However, the region is generally experiencing a dry spell, with pasture and browse availability decreasing.

During the month, the Unit performed general patrols and attended to 22 cases within various Farms and Ranches within Lake Naivasha as well as Soysambu, Lake Elementia and Lake Nakuru National Park. 13 of the cases were poaching related, all of which were snaring incidents. Three lions were also collared and 1 buffalo relocated as it strayed into a human population. 11 giraffes were also relocated from Soysambu to Lake Nakuru National Park due to the pressure on the habitat.
