Situated in magical Kenya, just north of Amboseli over the northern boundary of Amboseli Park is the Selenkay Conservancy. Selenkay shares the same ecosystem as Amboseli and is established on lands leased from the local Maasai, with the aim of protecting the wildlife habitat and encouraging wildlife conservation.The conservancy is home to an array of wildlife such as elephant, gazelle, lion, giraffe cheetah, leopard, mongoose, porcupine, yellow baboon and bat-eared fox. It boasts a remote bush camp in the heart of Selenkay’s Maasailand which is the perfect spot from which to view the plentiful of wildlife. Visitors can enjoy close encounters with wildlife, day and night game drives, guided bush walks with experienced, knowledgeable Maasai guides and visiting a local Maasai village.
Encompassed by the golden grass and the flat-topped acacia trees of the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, Mara Ripoi Conservancy features an abundant variety of wildlife - especially Maasai giraffes - for visitors to explore. Lions, cheetahs, elephants, herbivores and more roam freely from one wildlife area to the next. With only three small safari camps in residence at any given time, nature enthusiasts will have thousands of acres of conservation at their fingertips to enjoy in solitude. Local Maasai guides are available to share their extensive knowledge of what to see and do while visiting here.
