Another Zebra lost to road traffic

This morning, on our way to Emali town, we found a female zebra killed by a car, 15 kilometers away from Maasai Simba Camp. The animal was killed by a motorist at around 6:00am. Livestock and wildlife are killed by road traffic nearly every day in this part of the world. Unfortunately there aren't enough wildlife crossing signs on Emali-Loitokitok highway. The few signs available are often located in wrong places along the highway.

Maasai Association is raising funds to install animal crossing signs between Emali and Imbirikani trading center. Animal crossing signs will deter motorists from driving too fast in wildlife crossings.


Let us know if you or someone you know is interested on sponsoring animal crossing sign for Emali-Loitokitok highway. Our goal is to cover a stretch of 35 kilometers from Emali town.


The cost for animal crossing sign is $30 each.
