But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protectthem. He leads a small group ofwide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searchingfor the lion that has left upon it his prints. Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenyas national parks to try to have alook at thebig five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions.
