"5,928 acres at the Mara's northern edge, run as cattle ranch and wildlife area at once"
Enonkishu, Masai Mara Overview
Enonkishu Conservancy covers 5,928 acres at the northernmost point of the Greater Mara conservancy network, leased from 42 Maasai landowners. It is run as a working cattle ranch and a wildlife area simultaneously: herds sleep in mobile predator-proof bomas and are moved on a strict grazing plan that rebuilds degraded grassland, and the recovering grass carries plains game and the predators that follow. Habitat variety and guided walking, rather than sheer volume of animals, are what a visit is for.
This is the boundary where the Mara ecosystem meets settlement and farmland, so Enonkishu doubles as an argument about how the two can share ground. Wildlife counts are run quarterly, vegetation monthly and livestock daily, and the Herds for Growth programme upgrades local cattle with Boran bulls. For visitors that translates into low vehicle numbers, walks with Maasai guides and a conservation story with figures behind it. Narok is about 55 kilometres away on tarmac, and there is a private airstrip on the property, so most guests arrive by light aircraft or from lodges nearby.
