Wildlife and resources conservation volunteer, Maasi Mara

Oloisukut group conservancy is a 23,000-acre area of community land which borders the world famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve popularly known as the Mara Triangle, to the North in the Trans Mara District, Rift valley province. Oloisukut conservancy is an intriguing conservation concept on land-use owned and managed by the community members of Oloisukut.

The income generated from conservation has given the land owners a reliable and dependable alternative source of income from the traditional livestock. The conservancy has ensured that the northern part of the greater Mara-Serengeti ecosystem is secured for conservation and hence affording the wildlife the much-needed dispersal areas.

The area boasts of high density of game including the big five except for the Rhino. Over 300 different species of birds have been identified. Some of the common animal species are; Maasai giraffe, Burschell zebra, waterbucks, elands, lions, leopards, elephants and elusive and timid bushbuck. Oloisukut boasts the highest population of elands, giraffes and leopards in the Mara per unit area. Currently we have the biggest pride comprising of 18 adult lions with several cubs.

Tourism in the conservancy is highly controlled, a move that is aimed at maximizing the client wilderness experience and minimizing environmental impact.
