Setting up camera traps to determine leopard activity.
In 2015, Kitty and Brian volunteered with African Impact to assist with conservation and Big Cat predator research in Naboisho Conservancy in Kenya close to the world renouned Masai Mara National Reserve. We conducted species counts, infrastructure and transportation improvements, updating the conservancy’s elephant data base, setting up camera tracks for behavioral studies and numerous other functions. We presented several presentations at a local primary school to introduce North American wildlife to the students and spent time with the student guides at the Koiyaki Guide School.

I am looking for cobras and puff adders. I am a bit of a snake freak and budding amateur herpetologist.
