Conservation

70% of Kenya's spectacular wildlife is outside National Parks on private and community land. For 25 years, before "eco-tourism" became a buzzword, Cheli & Peacock has been an innovator and leader in community revenue sharing tourism projects. We believe in high income, low impact tourism, and will work with environmentally responsible lodges and camps.

We continue to lobby for sustainable tourism in Kenya, and actively participate in Wildlife Forums, Mara, Meru, Amboseli, Samburu Management Policy and Kenya Tourism Federation.

In our own lodges and camps we employ and train staff from the local area, do our best to operate environmental "best practice" (solar panels for water heating and inverter power, rubbish disposal,etc), and open up new areas for tourism therefore bringing revenue to struggling conservation areas and marginalized communities. 

We know that you, our clients, want to be assured that your participation on a Cheli & Peacock safari contributes to the sustainability of the eco-systems you enjoy. We give you that assurance.

 

Conservation initiatives we are currently supporting through the Cheli & Peacock Community Trust are:

• Protecting Shaba's Wildlife - Chaffa Gate, Joy's Camp, Shaba National Reserve
• Nakuprat-Gotu Conservancy, Joy's Camp, Shaba National Reserve
• Namunyak Conservancy, Kitch Camp, Matthews Range
