Migration Intelligence β Live
Every year, 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and 350,000 gazelles complete their ancient circuit across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem β a 3,000km journey driven by rain, grass, and survival.
Conservation at Work

"I joined to protect elephants. Now I protect the future of my country."
"The Mara is not just a park. It is a living system. My job is to read it every day."
"Every collar I attach is a life I can follow, protect, and report on. Data saves animals."

Voices from the Field
The Mara was beyond anything I had imagined. Our ranger guide knew the lions by name, by family history, by territory. This is not just a game park β it is a living ecosystem managed by extraordinary people.
The research permit process was smooth and the KWS scientists were genuine collaborators. Our Amboseli elephant study produced three peer-reviewed papers β none of it would have been possible without KWS's exceptional data infrastructure.
