Naboisho Conservancy has transformed the previously unprotected residential land into a safe-haven for wildlife.
With wildlife diminishing due to human activity, habitat loss being the main reason. Naboisho Conservancy is a safe haven for its high density of wildlife and also serves as crucial wildlife migration corridors for the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, it comprises of over 53,000 acres.
