The Namunyak Wildlife Conservation Trust, an area of approximately 75,000 hectares, lies folded around the southern corner of the fabled Mathews Mountain Range of Northern Kenya, home to the proud Samburu tribes people.

The Trust was set up in 1995 specifically to promote wildlife conservation and to assist the local community to benefit from tourism, in return for protecting the wildlife species living on their land.

The conservation work carried out by the Namunyak Trust to date has been hugely successful. Today, several thousand elephant are recorded as living and breeding peacefully in the southern Mathews Range area, together with a variety of other wildlife species such as buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, African wild dog, greater and lesser kudu, gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, impala and dik dik.

The main lounge and dining area are on a wooden deck with commanding views of the Northern Frontier. Accommodation is in five double tents, each with flush-loos and open air showers. A natural rock swimming pool overlooks an animal waterhole frequently visited.

Activities:
In addition to the usual viewing of big game, activities on Namunyak are as follows:

• Escorted bush walks with our expert local field scouts.
• Hiking into the Mathews rainforest.
• Fly camping safaris with camels along the wide sand 'luggas'.
• Moonlit bush dinners beside natural animal watering points.
