and heating water with special eco-friendly sustainable charcoal briquettes.
In Amboseli and Mara, the conservancies are owned by the local Maasai communities
and the camps are operated and managed with the objective of creating income and
providing benefits for the local people so that they can gain from participating
in tourism.

4x4 safari vehicles, with expert safari guides, for the best wildlife safari viewing.
