RANGELANDS, LIVESTOCK, TOURISM & COMMUNITY

​​

RANGELANDS

• A resilient rangeland ecosystem is built on the foundation of healthy soils and abundant grasslands. The Mara Hills we're regenerating it, breathing new life into once-degraded rangelands through traditional knowledge combined with strict management.

• By implementing holistic grazing plans that mimic ancient migratory patterns, we're witnessing nature's remarkable resilience. By embracing Sustainable Rangeland Management, we are also improving Social Cohesion, Governance and Leadership as well as running a profitable livestock model.

 

LIVESTOCK

• The beating heart of Maasai culture—their livestock—stands at the centre of our innovative approach to conservation. At Mara Hills, cattle and conservation aren't competitors but complementary forces. In Enonkishu, the "Herds for Growth" program demonstrates how traditional pastoralism, when practiced regeneratively, can actually enhance biodiversity while providing sustainable livelihoods. By implementing planned grazing patterns that mimic natural wildlife movements, we're seeing healthier cattle, more abundant grasses, and the revival of indigenous knowledge systems that have sustained these landscapes for millennia.

• This partnership between people, livestock, and wildlife represents the true path forward—one where human prosperity and ecological health advance together, proving that the ancient wisdom of the Maasai contains solutions for our most pressing modern challenges.

 

TOURISM

• Your journey matters here, not just to you, but to the entire living landscape of the Mara.

• Experience the Mara like never before, where every game drive, sunrise, and moment of wonder directly supports the restoration process. At Mara Hills, tourism isn't simply about viewing Africa's wildlife icons; it's about becoming an agent of change.

• The $2 million generated annually through the tourism model represents the economic engine driving everything from wildlife protection to community healthcare initiatives. When you stay in one of our partners, you're not just a visitor— you're a catalyst for change, helping to secure crucial wildlife corridors, support local livelihoods, and protect endangered species.

 

WILDLIFE

• The return of wildlife to the Mara Hills Conservancies represents a most inspiring conservation success story. Where once there was silence, now lion roars echo; where wheat fields stood just years ago, elephants now traverse ancient corridors. This remarkable resurgence—from endangered cheetahs raising cubs to critically endangered vultures soaring overhead—isn't just about numbers; it's about restoring nature's delicate balance and securing the future of iconic species that define the Mara landscape.

• When you support Mara Hills, you're not merely observing wildlife—you're participating in a profound restoration of nature.

​

COMMUNITY

• The true measure of conservation success isn't found in wildlife counts alone, but in the transformed lives of the surrounding communities. At Mara Hills, our community-cantered approach has resulted in remarkable changes: 90% of landowners reporting improved well-being, children receiving educational support through bursary programs, and women finding economic independence through innovative enterprises.

• These aren't just positive side effects—they're the essence of our mission. By supporting over 100 full-time jobs, funding healthcare initiatives, and investing in the next generation of conservation leaders, we're demonstrating that when communities thrive, conservation flourishes.

• The Maasai people aren't just beneficiaries of conservation; they are its architects and guardians. Their knowledge, commitment, and partnership form the foundation of everything we achieve. Together, we're writing a new story for the Mara—one where prosperity and nature advance hand in hand, creating a legacy of hope for the future.
