Reporting Date: 05.07.2012
Some of the many wild animals we have around us can get acustomed to human presence and become habituated.
A pride of Lions living around Keekorok air-strip have become very comfortable around cars, making them the one of the most famous pride in the Mara. The Keekorok pride was found walking on the road and they seemed to have a specific destination in mind. To everyones suprise they went direct to the waiting bay at Keekorok airstrip and sat down as though they were waiting to board a plane! It took a while before they moved on causing a slight worthwhile delay.
