The rescue of Isiolo

The rescue of Isiolo

The morning of Saturday 4th April brought another Rescue alert, this time from the Kenya Wildlife Service Senior Warden based at Isiolo, a man named Mailu who was involved in the rescue of Orphan Rapsu when serving in Meru National Park under Mark Jenkins. He informed us that Samburu herdsmen come across the calf who had fallen into a deep erosion gulley, and that the mother and the herd had long gone. The herders managed to send a message to the Senior Warden Isiolo, who immediately sent Rangers to extract the calf and drive it to Lewa Downs Airfield. It was from there that he phoned the Trust.
