"A Maasai-owned conservancy on the Mara's eastern edge, known for high lion density."
Naboisho Conservancy, Masai Mara Overview
Naboisho Conservancy borders the eastern edge of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, covering roughly 200 sq km of acacia woodland, rocky kopjes, and open grassland. It was formed in 2010 when more than 500 Maasai landowners leased their land for conservation in exchange for steady income. The conservancy now holds one of the highest lion densities in the Mara ecosystem, plus strong cheetah, leopard, elephant, and giraffe populations. Only a handful of small camps operate inside, keeping vehicle numbers low.
Naboisho Conservancy was established in 2010 when more than 500 Maasai landowning families agreed to lease their grazing land for wildlife conservation, creating a roughly 200 sq km block adjoining the Maasai Mara National Reserve's eastern boundary. It has since become known for one of the highest lion densities in the Mara ecosystem, with resident prides frequently seen around acacia-lined valleys and rocky kopjes, alongside healthy cheetah, leopard, elephant, and giraffe numbers. The conservancy caps camp and vehicle numbers and, unlike the national reserve, permits off-road driving, night game drives, and guided walking safaris. Access is limited to guests staying at member camps such as Naboisho Camp, Kicheche Valley Camp, and Encounter Mara.
