Mara Naboisho Conservancy

Naboisho – “uniting in purpose” – is one of 24 community conservancies turning the Mara–Serengeti into a self-sustaining ecosystem.

Naboisho Field Lens, March 2026. Through the eyes of guides, rangers and staff who know this land best: quiet sunsets, reflections after the rains, and a young lion discovering the world. Small moments that shape the rhythm of life in the conservancy.

The Mara has seen remarkable rains, but thanks to clear communication and the capable work of our rangers and guides, Naboisho remains accessible and steady, with the beauty of the conservancy shining through as ever. #SundaysOnNaboisho

This is not a river.
It’s erosion carving through fragile soil in the Maasai Mara.

Each season, rain can tear away fertile topsoil — sometimes a lorry load per acre per year. What washes away here does not quietly return.

At Naboisho Conservancy, we slow the force, hold the soil, and restore the land.
275 acres of swales.
12 million litres retained in a single 50mm storm.

This is wildlife conservation in action.
Because in the Mara, grass is life.

Vultures are a key bioindicator of ecosystem health, reflecting the bigger picture of wildlife stability, land use, and human pressure. Over 90% of Kenya’s vultures have disappeared in the last 30 years. But in Naboisho Conservancy they’re nesting again. We’ve confirmed 28 fledged white-backed vultures, a strong signal the system is recovering, thanks to deliberate protection, regulated grazing, and evidence-based management.

The Mara Raptor Project, run by the Kenya Bird of Prey Trust, is on the front line of vulture and raptor conservation across Kenya. On Naboisho, their work spans nest mapping and monitoring, poisoning response, rescue and rehabilitation, and hands on training for field teams. On Naboisho alone, they have mapped 205 nests and confirmed 53 active sites, and have supported the rollout of our new vulture and bird of prey handling unit and the new vulture rehabilitation pen.

Water is survival.
We’ve just had rains, and the countdown starts now.
This Field Note explains what happens next and why water storage matters.

The Maasai Apalis was only recently recognised as its own species. In Naboisho, it’s a small but useful indicator of habitat health in the wider Mara landscape.
