ABSTRACT Variation in climatic conditions is expected to impact the distribution and abundance of herbivore species, which may, turn, influence African lions ( Panthera leo ) ranging behaviour. This necessitates proactive management lion populations, as ecosystems may exhibit site‐specific responses these variations. Using satellite GPS‐GSM data from 10 collared three different national parks Kenya—Meru, Nairobi, Lake Nakuru—we calculated monthly home ranges distance moved studied how were influenced by rainfall. Across all parks, increased their with an increase rainfall, male covered larger distances than females. Model comparisons revealed that Nakuru significantly expanded higher rainfall compared those Nairobi; however, Nairobi Nakuru. Lions Meru had other two but effect on range size movement was not parks. Our results give insight into across We call for prioritisation conservation efforts a site‐specific, tailored approach management.
