Olchorro Oiroua Conservancy

Olchorro Oiroua Conservancy is a general area located in the northernmost part of the Masai Mara wilderness, with an area of approximately 17,000 acres that is of utmost importance to wildlife and a habitat for the native Maasai community. Through Seiya Limited and oversight by Fairmont Kenya, it plays a very key role in the conservation of unique ecosystem diversity while encouraging responsible tourism. The revenue realized from the guest accommodation directly contributes to essential operations such as wildlife protection, security patrols, and road maintenance and helps in conservation efforts to ensure this area retains its beauty for generations to come.

In addition to environmental stewardship, the conservancy is quite committed to supporting the people of Maasai. Conservancy-funded community projects reap considerable benefits in both urban and rural areas of Maasai through improvements in education, health, and infrastructure. The ripple further extends to the youngest members of the tribe, who are given better opportunities and resources that add to their well-being. This is a model in partnership that uses tourism as a catalyst for nature conservation, combined with socio-economic development.

Olchorro Oiroua Conservancy stands in testimony to people living in harmony with nature. This is a place where every visit contributes not only to the protection of iconic wildlife but also to the empowerment of the Maasai community. Visitors or supporters of the conservancy become active players in the protection of the rich cultural heritage and natural splendor of Masai Mara.
