Mara North Conservancy
Also known as Leopard Gorge
The Mara North Conservancy forms part of the Masai Mara ecosystem. It was founded in 2009 through a coalition of 12 key accommodations with local support from over 800 landowners, covering an area of 69,160 acres. It is the largest conservancy bordering Masai Mara National Reserve, thus very important to both wildlife conservation and tourism in Kenya in a sustainable manner.
This Conservancy is considered one of the leopard sanctuaries, and its variegated landscape of hills and caves acts like a “maternity center” for big cats-cool and safe places where small cubs grow up and get trained before going out to live in the wild. Besides leopards, other kinds of wildlife, such as antelopes, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, and wild dogs, are supported by the conservancy. These resident species complement the migratory wildlife and make the ecosystem dynamic, hence changing with time.
Besides the conservation of the natural habitat, Mara North Conservancy is committed to ensuring that, for generations to come, people can witness the unparalleled beauty and biodiversity of this iconic region. Indeed, one will get it from a visit to this conservancy, especially for those who want an authentic safari experience and bonding with nature amidst wild animals.
