“Reteti Elephant Sanctuary Africaʼs is the first community-owned and-operated centre of its kind. The deeply immersive Visitor Centre that is designed to enrich hearts and minds both locally and abroad. Mindfully curated to encompass the meaningful work of the sanctuaryʼs passionate team of Samburu keepers, researchers, and rangers, itʼs also a testimony to generations of coexistence between the areaʼs Indigenous people and the wildlife with whom they share this land.
Vividly portraying the plight of Northern Kenyaʼs wild elephant herds, the Visitor Centre highlights the impact of key factors such as recurring droughts and erosion– as well as the Samburu communityʼs unwavering efforts over decades to restore their numbers, including rangeland regeneration. Thecentre inspires, educates, and enchants– while allowing every visitor to become part of this special journey: a journey that fosters a spirit of kinship with Reteti and Namunyak Community Conservancyʼs incredible grassroots conservation work.”
