Visitors will actively monitor some of the lions using locator devices under the supervision of a Senior Research Assistant James who has been involved in numerous wildlife interventions, including rescuing and relocating lions and leopards, and removing snares from elephants, buffaloes, and warthogs. You will learn habituation calls of lions, monitor the weather, and learn about the environment that these lions call home, and their behaviours.
This lion tracking research trip gives visitors a great chance, about 95% to see the king of the jungles, the lions.
The results from this monitoring and tracking experience will be added to the data base and thus helping in conservation and better understanding of wildlife.
