Toki News and Adult literacy education

Toki is doing very well. Since he had problems getting on with the other cheetahs here on Lewa it was decided to move him onto a neighbouring farm close to the Lewa boundary. So for the last six months he has lived on Ol Donyo Farm with Stephen, his keeper. He has been hunting on his own but due to lack of prey on Ol Donyo he has been fed as well.

There are plans being formed to move Toki to a place where he will be able to live as a completely wild cheetah and where there will be an opportunity for him to find females and breed. We will keep you posted.
