SEE THE MAASAI MARA THROUGH MAASAI EYES. NOT JUST A SAFARI DESTINATION, BUT AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM THE COMMUNITY & THEIR LAND


When you visit Nashulai Maasai Conservancy, you are directly supporting East Africa’s invaluable biodiversity and the Indigenous Maasai people. Profits from our camps, day visits, and Nashulai Journeys directly support Conservancy operations, ecological regeneration, economic development of our community.

Your stay also directly contributes to the work of Nashulai. Regenerative tourism revenue helps support conservation, create local employment, and provide benefits to community members. By choosing to stay at one of our camps, you are helping make it possible for the conservancy to continue protecting wildlife and supporting the people who live here.

When you visit Nashulai, you’re not just a tourist, you’re becoming a ally of the Nashulai vision and helping to expand the impact.

1. NASHULAI CONSERVANCY DAY VISITS

Our day visits offer a chance to experience Nashulai beyond a traditional game drive and see how conservation and community life come together.

Every visit contributes to the work of Nashulai. By visiting, you are helping support a model of conservation that protects East Africa's biodiversity while creating opportunities for the people who call this landscape home.

At Nashulai, you can stay in camps that offer different levels of comfort and style, from the exclusive, high-end Wageni camp to the more relaxed, mid-range tented accommodations at Oldarpoi.

Our camps are staffed by Nashulai community members, giving you the opportunity to experience Nashulai through the people who call this place home.

Our staff are proud of their community and what Nashulai stands for and has accomplished, and are eager to share their culture, stories, knowledge, and connection to the land


3. CURATED SAFARIS

Nashulai Journeys creates tailor-made safaris that go beyond a single destination, connecting visitors with Nashulai and a network of communities, conservation initiatives, and ethically regenerative tourism partners across East Africa.

These journeys are designed for travellers who want to experience the places they visit more deeply while supporting approaches to tourism that value local communities, wildlife, and the land. We work with partners who are committed to coexistence, ecological regeneration, and creating lasting benefits for the communities who live in these landscapes.

Your journey can begin at Nashulai, with time spent exploring the conservancy, meeting Maasai community members, learning from local guides and rangers, and experiencing our approach to conservation firsthand. From there, we can help build an itinerary that extends beyond Nashulai to other places that share similar values.

Whether you are looking for wildlife, cultural experiences, time in nature, or a more immersive understanding of community-led conservation, each journey is shaped around your interests and the places you want to discover.

“I’d been to Africa before, but standing with a Maasai man walking over the conservancy, then 50 giraffes suddenly come running past and the wildebeest is there and he’s talking about the lions over there, and feeling the whole ground shaking — it was humbling.”
