In March 2011, George Logan, multi-award winning photographer and Born Free friend, joined the Born Free Foundation team in Ethiopia for a very important and special journey -- bringing Dolo the lion to Ensessakotteh where he would have the space and privacy he deserves as well as grass under his paws for the first time.
George's documentation of Dolo's momentous translocation has now been developed into this short video, kindly produced by Duncan Smith.
George Logan is a long-term supporter of Born Free Foundation and the proceeds from his impressive book, "Translocation", which seamlessly and cleverly brings together the wild animals of Africa with the wild landscapes of Scotland, are generously being donated to Ensessakotteh. You can purchase George's book here - http://www.bornfree.org.uk/give/shops/translocation-photos/

Great to see there is been made a place of education about (respect for) some native wildlife near to Addis - Born Free Foundation and supporters - you made this possible!

I have the honour of being Dolo's adoptive Mum and I will continue to be his Mum for as long as I live. I LOVE this boy SO MUCH and I am SO happy that he is now in a good place with good people AND a partner, the beautiful Safia, for company. One day, I hope to go and visit him in Ethiopia and that would make my dream come true......
