Ndolok Kitiliya

Ndolok Kitiliya lives in the most incredibly beautiful, but dry, Nasera area and is the Regional Coordinator for the Ilchokuti across to and including Ndutu. In the dry season there is plenty of conflict in this area and Ndolok is always busy. He’s highly valued for his skills at treating wounded livestock (he treats the most animals almost every month!), at coaching new Ilchokuti in literacy and the complicated task of filling in the monthly datasheets, and for his strategic thinking and intelligent insights.

On Valentine’s Day, we replaced lioness Nang’ida’s collar to retrieve valuable activity level data collected since July 2023.The previous collar recorded movement patterns linked to specific behaviours, helping us better understand how lions use the landscape and respond to environmental change. It has now been replaced with a standard GPS collar so monitoring can continue.Nang’ida separated from the Twin Hills Sister pride in 2024 with her two male cubs, then around 1.5 years old. This followed the takeover of the area by the Team Tano male coalition. She successfully kept both cubs safe, and they were last observed in January 2026.She remains alone.Within 24 hours of collaring, Nang’ida hunted a wildebeest and its calf on her own.Her story continues to unfold, and we will continue to follow her movements closely.Thanks to the wonderful Dr Wambura for his assistance in this procedure and to Ndutu Safari Lodge for hosting us.📷: Bobby-Jo Photography ...
