DESERT LION SAFARI

Dr Philip Stander has been working with carnivores for 27 years and has dedicated the last 12 years to the conservation of desert lions. These unique predators - there are only 100 to 130 in a 55 000 square kilometre area - live in the harshest of conditions in the Kunene Region. To survive in this extreme environment they need to cover vast distances. This inevitably brings them into contact with the people who live in this arid area. Desert Lion Conservation is trying to find real solutions for the human/lion conflicts that arise when man and beast share the same area and resources. Join us on an unforgettable reality experience as we accompany Dr Stander on his daily mission to learn more about these magnificent creatures and to provide them with a future. Our movements depend entirely on the lions, possible local problems and Dr. Stander. This could take the form of searching remote and rugged areas for the secretive and elusive lion, or perhaps investigating a human/predator conflict situation. These cautious survivors of the desert are nocturnal and so we will fall in with their routine. These are not the semi-tame cats frequently encountered in national parks; they are awesome, shy and lords of their environment. To be able to see them and work with Dr Stander is indeed a privilege!
