Journey to Africa
Preparing for the Journey
The logistics of transporting a lion to Africa were daunting. John and Anthony had to navigate numerous legal and bureaucratic hurdles to secure Christian’s passage to Kenya. They also had to prepare Christian for the long journey, ensuring he was healthy and ready for the challenges ahead. The preparation was meticulous, reflecting their deep concern for Christian’s safety and future in the wild.
Arrival in Kenya
Upon arrival in Kenya, Christian was greeted by George Adamson and his team. The vast wilderness of Kora National Reserve was a stark contrast to the urban jungle of London. For Christian, it was the start of a new adventure, one that would test his ability to adapt to the wild. John and Anthony hoped that Christian would thrive in his new home and learn to live as a wild lion should.
