Beware, wildlife on the loose in Nairobi- warns KWS

The Kenya Wildlife Services has warned Kenyans that wildlife will now be more likely to encounter wild animals on the streets as the wildlife try to cope with the dry spell.

“The ongoing dry spell being experienced in most parts of the country is displacing wildlife from their traditional habitats in search of pasture and water. This has increased conflict as the wildlife comes into contact with the public and human activities,” said a statement from the KWS on Friday.
