Ol Kinyei Conservancy

Important routes for elephant dispersal and feeding

Ol Kinyei Conservancy is found in Kenya’s Masai Mara Ecosystem and is a great focal point of wildlife conservation in that region. Formed as the first conservancy in this iconic region, it started off with 5,000 acres of private land that was leased to Porini Ol Kinyei Ltd. on an initial 5-year agreement. Lying between the Masai Mara National Reserve and the Loita Plains, the conservancy is a crucial area for wildlife dispersal and a key habitat for the Loita wildebeest migration. Over time, the conservancy has greatly expanded to include 18,500 acres of varying topography, from open savannah plains to riverine forests, springs, streams, rolling hills, and panoramic views of the Mara.

This dynamic conservancy boasts one of the highest lion densities in the world and has seen a steady increase in its cheetah population, with several families thriving alongside numerous young cubs. Beyond the big cats, Ol Kinyei Conservancy forms a vital ecological corridor for elephants. A 2016 study on elephant movements identified this conservancy as one of the most important routes for elephant dispersal and feeding; hence, it has emphasized the vital role of conservancy in ecological connectivity within the area.

Ol Kinyei Conservancy forms an essential part of the greater elephant and wildebeest migration with its rich biodiversity and is strategically located, with an expanding habitat, making it a beacon into the future in securing the Masai Mara Ecosystem.
