Now a no shooting zone .The locals we spoke to have the odd one with a bow though ,apparently .Masai village was a con though ,was just locals dressed up lol.We saw same peole from village getting on a bus as we drove back from a shopping trip all dressed in t shirts .We paid 20 dollars each too for a look round the village lol.Guide was mortified we' seen them as he got a tip too .Everybody is on the take over there for sure and the poverty has to be seen to be believed .

Jackdaw 101 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Yep I'm sure it is mate,British troops are there as we speak training anti poaching teams.It's over 20 years since I was last there,the gazelle was very tasty though lol. I've seen some very remote Masai villages,Archers post and Don dol areas,and witnessed some of there flash floods. Edited June 7, 2018 by Jackdaw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because there's definitely more than on black rhino left. The last male northern white rhino died recently. Still plenty of southern white's though. Africa's human population doubles every 30 years and the continent is f***ing massive and able to support continued growth for some time. Expected to hit 2 billion in 20 years! That's the problem conservation has to consider and as you say will put enormous pressure on Africa, a unique ark of Earth's mostly extinct mega fauna. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
