Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Maasai Mara
Olare Motorogi Conservancy is a 33,000-acre expanse of pristine wilderness located directly on the northern boundary of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Formed through the merger of the former Olare Orok and Motorogi Conservancies, it encompasses the lower valleys of the Olare Orok and Ntiakitiak Rivers, the dramatic Ntiakitiak Gorge, and a 12-kilometre escarpment fringed by acacia woodlands. This diverse landscape supports an extraordinary variety of wildlife and offers some of the most rewarding game viewing in the Mara ecosystem.
The conservancy was established through a pioneering partnership between local Maasai landowners and responsible tourism operators. Community members set aside their land for wildlife conservation, creating a vital buffer zone between human settlements and protected areas. In return, the Maasai receive stable monthly lease payments and employment opportunities linked to tourism. This model allows wildlife to thrive while providing tangible benefits to the community—an approach that has since inspired other conservancy projects across the Mara region.
Olare Motorogi ensures a true wilderness experience with one of the lowest tourist densities in the Mara, allowing guests to enjoy intimate encounters with nature. Only a handful of small safari camps operate here, with limited 4×4 vehicles traversing the area. The conservancy is renowned for its healthy populations of predators and herbivores, including several resident lion prides, elephants, cheetahs, and leopards. Endangered species such as rhinos and African wild dogs are also occasionally seen.
During the Great Wildebeest Migration (typically June to October), the plains of Olare Motorogi teem with life, while the earlier migration from the Loita Plains passes through between February and March after the calving season in Ol Kinyei Conservancy.
With its exceptional wildlife, breathtaking scenery, and community-driven conservation model, Olare Motorogi Conservancy stands as one of the most successful and inspiring conservation stories in the Mara ecosystem.

Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!Â
