Dr Campaign Limo holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Veterinary Medicine. After heading the SWT/KWS Mara Mobile Vet Unit for eight years, he took the helm of the Tsavo Mobile Vet Unit in April 2022.
Dr Limo’s passion for wildlife was nurtured during his stint as a private veterinary practitioner. His dream to work with wildlife came true in 2010 when he was employed by the Kenya Wildlife Service as a Veterinary officer based at the KWS HQ in Nairobi. There, he attended to clinical emergencies within the KWS Nairobi Orphanage, Nairobi Safari Walk, Nairobi National Park, and any other cases from the field across the country.
As the leader of the Tsavo Mobile Vet Unit, Dr Limo covers emergency cases within the greater Tsavo ecosystem. He has the support of an able veterinary assistant and two rangers, forming a formidable team to respond to any cases in the field. Dr Limo says, “I enjoy every bit of my work. It is a great privilege to be in a position to alleviate the suffering of our wildlife. I always remain committed to the welfare of animals and strive to the best of my ability to give them comfort and relieve them from any form of suffering.”
When he is off duty, Dr Limo likes listening to country music and watching rugby, football, and cricket. He also enjoys playing badminton.
