Good News from Samburu!

Category: Lions | Date: Feb 18 2009 | By: ewasolions

There is great news to report from Samburu!  There are 4 new cubs!  Uni, one of the resident females in Samburu National Reserve, has just come out with her cubs.  I was very fortunate to see her moving her 4 cubs from one thick bushy area to another.  The cubs are just under 8-9 weeks old.

Samburu now has 9 cubs; 3 belonging to Nabo, 2 to Nashipai and 4 to Uni.  After a couple of years with no cubs, this is fantastic news for the area and we are all really excited about this.
