Conservation at Kichwa Tembo

CC Africa’s focus: Community equity, income generation, education and health care are a primary concern. In consultation with community organisations such as the Africa Foundation (originally founded by CC Africa, now a not-for-profit rural development organization), Kichwa Tembo has contributed significantly towards improving the prosperity and living conditions of the Maasai community.

Kichwa Tembo’s landlords are the Ilkarekeshe Maasai tribe who receive economic benefits through the concession fees paid to them by CC Africa, as well as rental fees for traversing rights in the Masai Mara Reserve. Kichwa Tembo offers a glimpse into the Maasai’s unique pastoralist, nomadic lifestyle and blood-and-milk diet, virtually unchanged over centuries. The Maasai proudly maintain their traditional lifestyle as cattle-herders while remaining our partners in the protection of wildlife.
