Headed by KWS Veterinary Officer Dr. Limo, and assisted by the SWT's Felix Micheni and two KWS Capture Unit Rangers, this Unit has been equipped with a custom-designed vehicle and all the necessary equipment. This includes a refrigerator, dart gun, VHF radios, GPS, camera, binoculars as well as the medicines and equipment required for rapid and effective veterinary response. 

Established in 2007, the Mara Mobile Veterinary Unit is operated by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Since 2021, the unit's operational costs have been generously funded by Elizabeth Scarlett.
