The government of Taita Taveta has promised to get back the Tsavo man-eaters from the US. These remains are collected at a museum in Chicago and now Kenya wants them back to be part of the new tourism products that the country has to offer so said Governor John Mruttu.
These lions were a problem in 1898 during the time when the British were building Kenya’s railway, they would attack the camps where Indian construction workers lived near the Tsavo River and therefore they killed many workers thus known as the man-eaters of Tsavo.
While there are so many tourists who are interested in watching the lions from the jungle, there are those that don’t have the opportunity to go into the wilderness and so will be satisfied just see their remains from the museum. Once these remains are brought back, they will be stationed in a museum where they will serve as an attraction just the case is the US.
Just like the other big five animals of Africa, the lions are a great attraction, in Kenya, they are almost in all parks but so many of them are in the Tsavo national park, Masai mara national park, are few in Meru and in other parks.
This has come at a time when Kenya has to use all its resource to win back its markets which it had lost due to the travel advisories that a number of countries had issued out claiming the Kenya was not politically stable. More resource will be invested in the industry to help it regain its glowing especially because this industry provides employment to so many people and also a source of a huge sum of revenue if operating under favorable conditions.
