Ilaingarunyoni Conservancy, Kenya

A unique undisturbed habitat that creates a harmonious environment between wildlife and the local community.

The 11,750 ha Ilaingarunyoni Conservancy is a vital wildlife corridor located northwest of Kenya’s Amboseli National Park, connecting Amboseli National Park to the Loita–Maasai Mara ecosystem, acting as a “last natural gateway” for roughly 2,200 elephants.

Established by leasing land from the Olgulului-Ololorashi Group Ranch, it focuses on protecting migration routes and promoting coexistence between local Maasai communities and wildlife. The area features modern, IFAW-supported ranger bases to combat poaching.
