GNT60130 Elephant Salt Lick

An elephant salt lick; Maasai Amos Mnai and Kashu Parit introduce us to an ancient trail used by elephants moving in and out of the Naimina Enkiyio Forest (the Forest of the Lost Child). They point out where elephants have gouged out minerals along the banks of the Olkeju Arus providing salt for Maasai livestock. Elephants use this route to migrate back and forth to the Maasai Mara 60 km to the west. Elephants are being heavily poached, and this is threatening the connectivity to elephant populations on the Rift Valley floor and beyond. 31 August 2012. © ElephantVoices
