LEMEK CONSERVANCY, It’s interesting that a reserve with only 19,000 acres can still have a pride of lions living there, as well as a lot of cheetahs, elephants, and leopards that are hard to find. Lemek Conservancy promises a safari experience that isn’t rushed or busy on a beautiful piece of land with lots of wildlife, but with simple accommodations for a value-based experience.There are some conservancies in the Mara that are very successful that don’t cost a lot of money. Lemek is one of them. Between June and October, during the Great Migration, wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles come rushing into the Serengeti fields from the nearby Mara. This is the biggest movement of animals in the world.

The Secret of Lemek

A lot of businesses get bigger and better by steadily growing and expanding. The opposite has happened at Lemek, which has cut back on staff. In particular, it has combined with the nearby Mara North conservancy to make the business easier to run. This has helped protect the nature and wildlife while also meeting the needs of the Maasai people who live there.

Kenya’s wildlands are full of this natural conflict between people and the environment. Conservancies like Lemek are the best way to protect the animals, the people who live there, and the curious tourists who come to see them.

A Statement of Value

Because the Lemek Conservancy really wants to protect the land, they limit the number of beds that can be used and, by extension, the number of tourists that can come to this protected area. The reserve has just two places to stay, and both are cheap.

As a visitor, you can enjoy all the good things about a conservancy safari—off-roading, wildlife walks, night safaris, and not too many other people—while saving a lot of money compared to other places.

Highlights of the Lemek Conservancy

Going Off-Road—Guides must stay on the park’s roads in the nearby national reserve. For lions, leopards, cheetahs, and elephants, this is the right place for your Jeep to make its own tracks.

Game drives at night – You can continue your safari when the sun starts to go down, which is only possible in the conservancies. You’ll see how the land changes from day to night, when a whole new group of animals comes out. Listen to the sounds and see the bright eyes of animals that hunt at night all around you.

Nature walks are a great way to get away from the Jeep and get close to the land, plants, and even small animals. You and your guide will go on a private trip through the bush and over the savannah, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the area.

Community Tours: The Maasai villages here don’t get a lot of tourists, so it’s a more authentic experience to visit. See the Maasai way of life up close by going to a farm. See their bomas and learn about how they used to live as herders in the past.
