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.
