Guests staying at Mara Nyika Camp explore the private and exclusive 20 000-hectare Naboisho Conservancy, the second-largest conservancy in the greater Maasai Mara region. “Naboisho” means “coming together” in the Maasai’s Maa language and represents the 500 local landowners who established the conservancy. The conservancy model strives to conserve natural and cultural heritage, tourism, and livelihoods for the local communities. Each guest’s stay supports over 500 Maasai families with a sustainable livelihood and helps to ensure the conservation of this vital corner of the Maasai Mara ecosystem.

Many guests opt to spend a few days at Mara Nyika Camp combined with a stay at our Mara Expedition Camp, Mara Toto Camp, Mara Plains Camp or The Jahazi Suite at Mara Plains. This perfect safari in Kenya combination allows one to experience all three wildlife areas: the private Olare Motorogi and Naboisho Conservancies and the Maasai Mara Reserve. Each wildlife experience from our camps is unique and offers a different face to the incredible Maasai Mara ecosystem.

Great Plains Foundation aims to restore indigenous trees to landscapes across Kenya, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. Working with local communities and schools, Conservation Roots teaches the value of indigenous trees and their critical role in functioning ecosystems. To date, we have planted trees in partnership with schools in Botswana and Zimbabwe as part of our conservation education outreach work and planted more than 5000 indigenous trees in deforested areas bordering Maasai Mara. We need to give the planet’s lungs a second chance and we encourage guests to join us by planting a tree during their stay at Mara Nyika.
