Olderkesi Conservancy

Olderkesi Conservancy stretches across the southeastern corner of the Mara, near the Tanzanian border, forming a vital corridor for wildlife moving between the Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. Each year, wildebeest and zebra thunder through these grasslands during the Great Migration, watched closely by lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Elephants, giraffes, and antelope roam freely across riverine valleys, forests, and woodlands, while birds, reptiles, and smaller mammals thrive in the quieter corners of the landscape. The Maasai, original inhabitants of the area, still live here as semi-nomadic pastoralists, guiding large herds of cattle across the plains and keeping their cultural traditions alive.
