Children will have the opportunity to participate in the conservation efforts that go on, such as joining the highly-trained rangers on a short patrol, visit the top-secret security ops room, meet the anti-poaching team and their sniffer dogs while playing ‘hide & seek’ in the bush*, contribute towards our wildlife monitoring and research projects and so much more……plus get either a Bronze, Silver or Gold Certificate depending on how well they did. 

In Loisaba Conservancy (Elewana Lodo Springs, Loisaba Tented Camp & Star Beds) 

Top Secret Security Ops

Find out how our highly trained rangers help protect Loisaba’s wildlife by joining them on a short patrol, visiting the top secret security ops room (where you can also see the GPS movements of some collared wildlife such as Felix the lion!) and meeting our pilot for a guided tour of our plane. 

‘Hide & Seek’ with the sniffer dogs

Meet our anti-poaching canine unit! We have two tracker dogs – Memusi and Nanyokie – and five handlers, who all contribute towards anti-poaching and the safety and security of the conservancy. The dogs are sniffer dogs rather than attack dogs and are very friendly. Join the team and test the dogs’ sense of smell as you pretend to be poachers hiding in the bush – and see if they can find you!

 Re-greening Kenya, one seed at a time

With deforestation being a large issue in the Kitirua Conservancy, the technique of seed balling allows regrowth and regeneration. A seedball is an indigenous tree seed encased in a nutritious biochar casing which protects the seed until conditions are perfect for germination. Learn about the African bush with an expert guide whilst throwing seedballs and contribute to the preservation and conservation of one of Kenya’s most authentically exquisite areas.
