Enarau Conservancy

Tucked into Kenya's Northern Mara, Enarau Conservancy spans grassland, dense woodland, and marshland, with permanent streams threading through the landscape on their way to the Mara River. The conservancy centres on ecosystem restoration, reintroducing native plants and rehabilitating habitats affected by overgrazing. Its mix of grasslands and marshlands sustains a range of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and large mammals such as elephants, lions, and giraffes. Its location near the Mbokoshi Conservation Area strengthens its role as an important wildlife corridor. The terrain is uneven and varied, shifting between open plains where wildebeest and zebra graze in loose herds and thickly wooded corridors where elephants move between Enarau and the neighbouring Mbokishi Conservancy to the north-east. Morning and evening game drives in open 4x4 vehicles cover the grasslands and woodland edges, where lion, cheetah, giraffe, and buffalo are regularly sighted, with guides tracking movement across the conservancy's network of dirt roads.
