Tourism That Restores
Collection in the Wild and Futures in the Wild use conservation tourism to transform lives and landscapes. Every guest stay contributes directly to community-led initiatives — from reforesting riverbanks and regenerating rangelands to building libraries and funding healthcare. This is what tourism looks like when it truly gives back.

Futures in the Wild Campaigns
Women in the Wild
Regenerating Land. Reviving Culture. Empowering Women.
From planting trees to making soap, women are leading the restoration of land and livelihoods. This program combines entrepreneurship with indigenous skills — supporting women as stewards of nature and culture. Seedlings grown in our nursery reforest rivers, feed schoolchildren, and heal the soil. The women who grow them earn income and dignity — all while greening the future.
Conservation
Protecting Wildlife and Sustaining Rangelands
We partner with the Mara Training Centre and local communities to regenerate grasslands, prevent overgrazing, and protect biodiversity. Predator lights, mobile bomas, and conservation leases reduce human-wildlife conflict while generating income for landowners. Our rangers patrol, monitor, and safeguard this vital ecosystem — supported by every guest who visits.
Education
Literacy. Conservation. Opportunity.
Our education initiatives invest in rural schools with real impact — building classrooms, installing water tanks, and providing daily lunches. We also fund conservation-themed libraries, stocked with books and powered by solar, where students learn that wildlife can bring opportunity. A new generation of environmental stewards is growing — book by book.
Community Health
Caring for the People Who Care for the Land
We support the local clinic and school-based outreach with essential services — including family planning, maternal care, and menstrual health programs that help girls stay in school. We fund nurse salaries, medical equipment, clean water access, and dignity kits. Because a healthy community is the foundation of a thriving conservancy.
