About: Maasai Mara Conservancies

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

To the east and north of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, some of the former Maasai cattle-grazing areas have been converted into wildlife conservancies for tourism. The conservancies include Enonkishu, Lemek, Mara Naboisho, Mara North, Nashulai, Olare Motorogi, Olarro North and Olarro South, Olchorro Oirowua, Ol Kinyei, Olderkesi, Oloisukut, Pardamat and Siana. The conservancies came about when Maasai land owners with neighbouring land came together to agree that safari camp operators could use their land for tourism purposes, in return for either a percentage of profits or leasing fee.
