Community & Conservation

We have six bright and eager trainees working in various departments across the camp. They spend approximately three months on the job learning and gaining knowledge, with real-world experience. Our goal? Empower the local youth with tools for success in the hospitality industry. It’s more than just learning a job—it’s about creating opportunities that ripple through their lives and communities. And it doesn’t stop there. This training strengthens our bond with the local Maasai, creating economic growth that trickles back into their villages.

Our program also teaches valuable work habits, from teamwork to dependability—skills that will serve them well no matter where they go next. The project opens up new horizons for these trainees, helping them discover paths they may not have known existed. It also deepens the connection between our camp and the community, fostering relationships built on mutual respect, conservation, and collaboration. Plus, by educating locals about wildlife and environmental conservation, we are helping to minimize human-wildlife conflict—something that benefits everyone. All of our trainees hail from local Maasai communities, and we’re so proud to be a part of their journey. Together, we’re not just building a better camp, but a stronger, more connected community.

Conservation is not only about action. Instead, it’s about first changing the mindset around the topic. One of the ways we do this is to educate local communities and guests alike about the delicate balance of Mother Nature and how everything we do has an effect – it’s up to us to decide whether that will be positive or negative. Furthermore, we support conservation books like those by Margot Raggett, as well as try to implement daily changes like switching from plastic water bottles to reusable stainless steel bottles and glass at our lodges instead. It’s an ongoing effort, and we continue to try to find ways to leave a light footprint and boost conservation efforts.
