Kenya tourism news – New police post planned for Masai Mara Game Reserve

POLICE POST IN MASAI MARA TO IMPROVE SECURITY AND STEM POACHING
News were confirmed today that the Kenya Police will establish a new police outpost in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, from where officers will work hand in hand with game rangers and wardens to improve overall security in Kenya key park.
Attacks or robberies on tourists are relatively rare, but high profile events when something happens but poachers crossing the common border between Tanzanias Serengeti and Kenyas Masai Mara are equally a target of the new police outpost.
Tourism stakeholders have broadly welcomed the initiative but also said that from announcing the new facility to actually putting it up and operating it are two different things in Kenya, so time will tell here just how long it will take to turn promise into reality. Meanwhile though it should be said that the initiative is most welcome and certainly much awaited.
