I am very interested in wildlife conservation in general and to see the last northern

Get closer to the world of wildlife conservation by learning about ongoing research projects in our wildlife conservancies.

The last remaining animals of this species were translocated to Ol Pejeta Conservancy and it is hoped will create the nucleus of a successful breeding program. In addition to the two female Northern White Rhinos, it is home to a number of endangered species including the locally threatened Jackson’s hartebeest.

We partner with the “Remembering Wildlife” series, created by British wildlife photographer Margot Raggett, to raise awareness of wildlife’s plight and support NGOs trying to protect the species featured in the book. The world’s best wildlife photographers generously contribute stunning photos to each coffee table book. “Remembering Leopards” raises awareness of the Leopard species’ threats. Through the book’s sales, funds are being channeled to charity organization helping the survival of the species, such as the Mara Predator Conservation Programme (MPCP).

Kicheche Mara Camp guests can experience first-hand the complicated relations between poaching and human – elephant conflict in the Mara ecosystem.
