CONSERVATION
All proceeds from Enasoit Camp go to support the management, conservation and preservation of Enasoit Reserve’s unique ecosystem. Conservation is at the core of everything we do and by choosing to stay with us you are directly contributing to this conservation effort.Furthermore, Enasoit Camp operates solely on solar electricity, ensuring its environmental impact remains exceptionally low.
Enasoit is situated in Kenya’s wildlife-rich Laikipia Highlands, and as such we are part of a wider conservation story which relies on the co-operation of many communities and stakeholders.
Laikipia boasts remarkable biodiversity. There are over 550 recorded bird species in Laikipia, including 10 globally threatened species. Researchers believe that there is no place on earth where you find a higher number of larger mammal species (over 3kg) of which 7 species are internationally threatened: African Wild Dog, Reticulated Giraffe, Lion, Cheetah, Savannah Elephant, Grevy Zebra and Black Rhino.
Enasoit is a critical wildlife corridor within this Laikipia ecosystem, key for the free and safe movement of many of these iconic species. Our rangers work hard every day to safeguard and protect Enasoit’s habitat and wildlife. We also run a number of special focus projects include our Indigenous Tree Initiative establishing “exclusion zones” and seedling planting to protect precious tree and plant species from damage by elephants and climate change, and our Environmental Scholarship Programme supporting the secondary education and mentorship of children from our local community, who have a particular passion for the environment.

CONSERVATION
Conservation is at the core of everything we do. Enasoit is a critical wildlife corridor within Kenya’s Laikipia Highlands and all proceeds from Enasoit Camp go to support the management and preservation of this key habitat.
The Laikipia Highlands extend over 9,500 sq km with ever-changing, diverse landscapes – from semi-arid plains, dramatic gorges, rocky outcrops and rolling acacia-covered hills. Laikipia is one of Kenya’s key wilderness areas, with wildlife density and biodiversity second only to that found in the Masai Mara. It is within this Laikipia landscape that some of Kenya's most effective conservation work is being done, including the preservation of a number of endangered and endemic species. As such Enasoit is also part of a critical wider conservation story which relies on the co-operation of many stakeholders.
The Enasoit wildlife corridor is a conduit within this Laikipia ecosystem, key for the free and safe movement of numerous iconic species including elephant and wild dog, which follow ancient migratory routes. By safe-guarding this special corner of Laikipia, Enasoit is together with our neighbours, ensuring space for wildlife to roam and thrive.
