Wildlife Conservancies in Isiolo

Nasuulu Community Conservancy: A United Front

Nasuulu Community Conservancy, 35 km2 in area, is strategically set between Buffalo Springs National Reserve and Samburu National Reserve, and forms a part of the greater Laikipia Ecosystem. This entire block hosts a prolific population of the handsome Grevy’s zebra as well as being a refuge for significant numbers of elephants and varied large herbivores. Established in 2012, Nasuulu Conservancy has representation from each of the four communities who call this place home. The outcome is that it has overly edged-off decades of fierce inter-tribal conflicts and poaching. Nasuulu is one of the youngest NRT conservancies, and serves as a salient buffer for wildlife in Buffalo Springs National Reserve. Nasuulu is in the process of building a new conservancy headquarters. The 12 rangers employed at Nasuulu represent the diverse ethnicities around the community conservancy.


Kenya has about 110 wildlife conservancies, all promoting the placid co-existence of local people and wildlife in mutual well-being. Improved security, better land management, income, employment and support to community projects have all encouraged the epic rise of conservancies unique attractions and experiences.
