Your safari directly funds the community land leases that creates the conservancies we safari in - and this is paid to the local Maasai land owners. You are also helping to provide employment for rangers, camp staff, guides and drivers from the local community and importantly creating habitat and safe haven for wildlife.
Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps are the leaders in responsible eco-tourism and the pioneers of the private community conservancy concept in Kenya which supports communities and wildlife conservation through its sustainable safari model. They are the delivery partner of The Maarifa Foundation contributing in-kind to our projects on the ground since 2020.
A per head donation is included in your package, which The Maarifa Foundation contributes directly (and 100%) to our sponsored schools (including for library, water tank, school fees, or other school improvement activity) - the project will vary from year to year based on needs of students and school community.
