This recent incident shows the stark reality in Kenya. The available space is shrinking for lions and other predators. Humans are at risk of being killed when walking outside their houses.

SINCE mid-October 2025, KWS officers camp in the neighbourhood of Kitengela, tracking down a lone, evasive lioness. She is invisible. People see clear evidence but can’t find it. Yet she’s operating in a radius of less than 500m.
The CCTV cameras capture her night escapades, scaling walls and attacking dogs, yet the naked eye can’t locate her. She evades a trap with a very healthy goat (it has to be a live goat, not meat). In their groups, residents are told to stay indoors at night.
People walk around in the darkness, trying to track it with KWS rangers, perhaps hoping to catch it live.
