When the Maasailand Preservation Trust began back in 1991 it employed just six Community Game Scouts as its first members of staff. Trained, uniformed, equipped and able to respond to any threat to people or wildlife, there are now five operational Mbirikani Game Scout Units, containing many dozens of men. These men are nearly exclusively all local residents of the Group Ranch, ready at a moment

How is the Chyulu Hills rhino population doing? Would love to donate a Stealth Cam!! Where can I send you guys my photos of 2008?
Hi Jelle,
The rhinos are doing well although elusive as ever. I was actually out with the rhino unit today and we saw very fresh tracks of a male and a female!
I’m very excited to hear your keen to donate a cameratrap and would love your photos of 2008. How can we arrange this best?
Regards,
Gwili
