October Long weekend / Half Term weekend
Actual Event – Briefing Friday 17 th 5pm. Event Saturday 18 th October at dawn to Sunday 19th at noon.
Corporate Sponsorship:
We are very pleased to welcome Toyota Kenya Limited as our signature sponsor for the second time. Toyota Kenya is not just our main sponsor but is also entering teams, so that their staff and friends can enjoy the fantastic
Sanctuary while supporting the community that has dedicated its land to conservation. Companies might wish to participate in this unique team building exercise and we ask you to pass this document on to any that you feel would enjoy and benefit from a fun weekend in the bush.
The EGGS Location:
On the Voi – Taveta road in the LUMO Community Wildlife Sanctuary, Maramba ranch, Lualenyi ranch and the Taita
Hills Game Sanctuary. We ask you to participate in this unique event and be amongst those that appreciate what sacrifices the community has made in order to conserve such an important part of our national heritage.
How EGGS will work:
A checklist of animals, birds, trees, prints and turds found within the Sanctuaries will be given to the teams and they will have 30 hours, from dawn on Saturday to noon on Sunday, to find and photographically record as many items on the list as possible. The more difficult the challenge, the greater its value, for example a Leopard might be worth
100 points, a Lion 60 and a Kongoni 5. To add spice to the event there is also a list of items to collect from within the sanctuary and a small quiz to fill in.
Who will be there??

Raising Money For Whom?
Why is it called Eye Go Game Spotting (EGGS)? Kwale District Eye Centre, through its Mwatate clinic, provides Eye care in the Taita area including the LUMO shareholders. EGGS funds will be used to improve Eye care in the community, conservation education and general education and sustainable community projects, within the area and to upgrade the sanctuary infrastructure. EGGS is a fun way to raise awareness and funds to support the LUMO Taita community so join us in this worthwhile effort.
EGGS 2014 aims to raise a minimum of Ksh Two Million five hundred thousand and split the funds as follows:-
Eye Care Ksh 1,200,000/=. Sanctuary infrastructure Ksh 400,000/=. Local education Ksh 200,000/=. Water projects
Ksh 400,000/=. Conservation education Ksh 300,000/=. Any monies raised over Ksh two million five hundred thousand will be distributed 50% to eye care and the balance equally to the other projects.
