Ol Malo

Ol Malo’s partner, the Samburu Trust, have spent the last 20 years funding helicopter flights to dart and treat injured elephants, rescued and rehabilitated orphan animals, and worked with local government branches and Samburu communities to maintain safe passage for wild animals. This is done with guidance from tribal elders and in partnership with Kenya Wildlife Services, ensuring the coexistence between humans and wildlife thrives in the North.

Another initiative started by the Samburu Trust is the network of clean water reservoirs created along human and animal migratory routes. Sparked by the increased and longer droughts in recent years as a result of global warming, the reservoirs provide clean water from which people, livestock and wildlife can safely drink.

The Samburu Trust protects and secures the future of the Samburu people and their land through education, conservation, healthcare, water supply, women’s opportunities, and eco-tourism. The camp supports the trust by providing two schools, the Trust Burns Room, the Mamaʼs Beading Workshop, and the Trust Gift Shop to sell their beaded products. They also offer assistance on wildlife conflict, medical care, and building water reservoir systems to support the entire ecosystem for the benefit of local communities.
