Lion Landscapes - Ol Maisor Ranch - Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2024

Rangers are Africa’s unsung heroes. They hold diverse roles as conservationists, teachers, community support workers, leaders and much more.

The Wildlife Ranger Challenge, organised by Tusk, is a celebration of solidarity, connection and camaraderie for the ranger profession. Culminating on 21st September 2024, the campaign raises vital funds for Africa's biodiversity guardians.

Lion Landscapes - Ol Maisor Ranch and the surrounding farms are habitat for a stable lion population with a number of prides. Ol Maisor currently has up to 3 large prides living within our boundary as well as a number of males.

Through Lion Landscapes, we have 8 trained lion rangers who help in gathering data and monitoring the movement of these lions. They have also helped in reducing conflict with livestock both with the farm herds and neighboring community herds. While conflicts still happen our rangers work on reducing the risk of poaching/poisoning incidents through education into better bomas and practices to reduce lion attacks.

Ol Maisor also has around 14 security officers who work on removing snares and patrolling fence lines to stop any incidents of wildlife poaching. These officers work closely with our rangers and our K9 team.

The WRC has been a major event each year for our rangers and security team. They love it! It brings all departments of our farm together as we have rangers working in different roles within the organisation.
