Lions International Day at Tembo by Jackson – Celebrating the King of the Jungle

Tembo by Jackson in celebrating Lions International Day. Learn why we care for lions, how we protect them, and how you can be part of the conservation story.

At Tembo by Jackson, we live among lions
In the Maasai Mara, lions are not only part of the landscape. They are part of our identity. Every roar you hear across the plains reminds us why these majestic animals are called the King of the Jungle. On Lions International Day, we pause to celebrate them, share their story, and renew our commitment to their protection.

Why lions matter

• They are an important part of Kenya’s tourism economy. Every sighting creates unforgettable safari memories.

• Their cultural and symbolic value stretches across generations and traditions.
