Ilchokuti Katakara and Lion Scout Moloimet (from left) tracking for newly collared Bahati. Moloimet shows newly employed Katakara how the equipment works, an exciting day for Katakara, who on his 2nd day of work found and led us to this lion, that we managed to collar - and that he chose to name Bahati (meaning Luck, in Kiswahili).
The greatest danger for male lions is other male lions. If dispersing males from Serengeti eventually reach the Crater, they will encounter perhaps the greatest obstacle; that of large and well-established groups of Crater born males. Those well-fed males, with massive manes on full display are not keen on male intruders.
