All About Enonkishu Conservancy

Discover Enonkishu Conservancy

This National Park is Located in 

Maasai Mara National Reserve is known for its vast ecosystem, which covers an area of preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya. Forming 6,000 acres on the edge of the Mara is Enonkishu Conservancy, an eco-tourism enterprise committed to conserving its biodiversity.

During your visit, you will witness populations of lion, cheetah, and elephant across a habitat of wooded acacia savannah, rippling hills, and the Mara River. Many hippos and crocodiles grace the famous river, whilst the riverine forests provide a popular area to find leopards.

There is no doubt that Enonkishu offers an incredible game-viewing experience, as the name Enonkishu was chosen by community elders to describe the ideal livestock herd.

To conserve their biodiversity, the conservancy encourages the breeding, husbandry, and grazing of livestock. The introduction of predator-proof mobile bomas reduces the number of attacks as well as the revengeful killings of lions. In turn, tourists experience the livestock, wild animals, and natural beauty to its fullest.

Home to the Mara Training Centre, Enonkishu offers training for other conservation organizations, group ranches, and communities. They can learn about rangeland management, social cohesion, governance, and leadership as well as profitable livestock husbandry practices.

Best Time to Visit Enonkishu Conservancy

Enonkishu Conservancy – Masai Mara is one of the biggest conservancies among the many in Masai Mara. It’s rich in wildlife, spot the big five such as the Lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Best place to stay to view Wildebeest Migration and Wildlife in exclusivity.

The Conservancy is fairly not in good condition during the rainy season, due to heavy rains, lodges and camps tend to close this time as they renovate their properties.

  • January – March – This season is the best since the conservancy is hot and after short rains in December. The Conservancy gets lush green and attracts a lot of wildlife, and makes it easier to spot wildlife since the grass is not that tall, but green.
  • April to June – Known as the green season, is when the long rains in Kenya start, and lodges and camps in this region are hard to access. Therefore they all close down and most of them take advantage to renovate them as they await the peak season from July to October. But some are open for fly-in guests who want long-stay on exclusive safaris.
  • July to October – It’s the busiest and most loved season. Known as the peak season, when visitors from all over the world visit Kenya for summer seasons and holidays. The Season starts with the cold month of July and gets hot in Aug to Oct. Short rains in Kenya start between Oct to Dec. It’s the best time to visit the conservancy for the Wildebeest Migration, though it gets crowded.
  • November to Dec – The short rains start this time and they rain till the end of Dec at times. It’s a fair good time to visit  Enonkishu Conservancy – Masai Mara for a short or long stay when offers are available.

Low Season

November to May

This is the wet season, which brings the calving season, when many herbivores give birth. It’s a wonderful time for birdwatching, as migratory species flock to the region.

High Season

June and October

Wildlife viewing is still excellent, with plenty of predators and herbivores around. While the Great Migration has usually moved on by October, there is still a lot of game in the area, and this is a great time to spot wildlife, including big cats. The weather remains dry and pleasant, with warm temperatures during the day and cooler evenings.

Peak Season

July to September

This is the time of the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move through the Mara region. It’s an incredible spectacle with a high concentration of predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas following the herds. The weather is dry, with clear skies and mild temperatures, making it ideal for safaris and game drives. This is the busiest period in the Mara, so you can expect more tourists, especially at major viewing points.
