A stay at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp is more than a safari. It is an opportunity to be part of a bigger story.

Introduction
A stay at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp is more than a safari. It is an opportunity to be part of a bigger story — one that supports conservation, empowers local communities, and preserves the land for future generations. At the heart of this story is the Maa Trust, a community-based organisation working within the Naboisho Conservancy.

Empowering Local Communities
The Maa Trust partners with local Maasai communities to create sustainable livelihoods. From women’s beadwork collectives to youth education programmes, their work ensures that tourism benefits extend beyond the camp itself.

Conservation through Partnership
By linking community well-being with conservation, the Maa Trust has helped reduce human–wildlife conflict, protect habitats, and ensure wildlife thrives. Guests at Hemingways Ol Seki directly contribute to this model simply by visiting, with conservancy fees going back into the land and its people.

Experiences for Guests
Guests have the chance to visit Maa Trust projects, meet artisans, and learn how conservation and community go hand in hand. These encounters add depth to a safari, making it not just about wildlife sightings but about understanding the people who protect the Mara.

Conclusion
At Hemingways Ol Seki, every stay helps sustain both wildlife and community. Through the work of the Maa Trust, guests become part of a lasting legacy — where conservation is rooted in care for people as much as for the land.
