Hailing from settlements bordering the national reserves, most of our team are Samburu nomads. Many arrived in Camp looking for work after days walking through the bush, living off the land with only the few supplies they carried. Some have been to school and speak English, but the majority speak only Maa or Kiswahili and came to us directly from a life of herding livestock. ​

 

No matter how, when or why they came, all are experts in their field - both highly observant naturalists as well as walking encyclopaedias on everything to do with the wilds of Samburu. Their vast reservoirs of traditional knowledge and diverse experience enhance our understanding with a special kind of magic. By combining this with the best of what we know from behavioural science we are coming up with lots of new ideas of how to better protect elephants and wild life through conservation-led tourism.
