Conservation
“Protecting the landscapes we travel through — and offering a deeper connection to them.”
A Personal Commitment
Conservation is not something we’ve added to our safaris — it’s part of why Nomadic Africa exists.
Having grown up in Kenya, I’ve seen how much these landscapes depend on careful balance. The wildlife, the open spaces, and the communities that live alongside them are what make this part of the world so special — and what make the journeys we design possible.
Every safari we create is rooted in a deep respect for these places, and a responsibility to help preserve them.
Our Partners
Big Life Foundation
As an ambassador for Big Life Foundation, this is a cause that is particularly close to me.
Big Life operates one of East Africa’s most effective conservation models, with ranger teams working across the Amboseli and Tsavo ecosystems. Their work focuses on protecting wildlife, preventing poaching, and supporting the communities who live alongside these landscapes.
It’s a long-term, ground-up approach — and one that delivers real, measurable impact.
Kenya Wildlife Trust
Our support for Kenya Wildlife Trust is closely tied to our relationship with Ker & Downey Safaris, who established the trust in 2007 with the aim of aligning tourism with conservation.
Today, KWT is a recognised leader in predator conservation, focusing on protecting lions and cheetahs across key ecosystems including the Greater Mara, Samburu-Laikipia, and Amboseli-Tsavo.
Their work combines scientific monitoring with practical, community-led solutions — helping ensure predators and people can continue to coexist across these landscapes.
Conservation as Part of Your Safari
A portion of every safari we design goes directly towards supporting conservation initiatives through the organisations we work with.
Beyond this, conservation can become a more meaningful part of the journey for those who are interested.
We often incorporate experiences such as spending time with ranger teams, joining a morning tracking session, visiting local schools and community projects, or gaining a closer understanding of the work being done on the ground.
These are not staged experiences — they are a genuine insight into the realities of conservation in Kenya, and a way to connect more deeply with the places you are travelling through.
A Shared Responsibility
We are fortunate to spend time in some of the most extraordinary places in Africa.
Protecting them is a shared responsibility — one that we take seriously, and one that we are proud to extend to those who travel with us.
