UK Charity Donations
Our Soysambu Conservancy UK Charity donation site is now operational.
Please donate to help support our conservation efforts with these wonderful animals, we can’t do it without your support. There is such a variety of amazing wildlife here on this World Heritage Site, from the giants like the giraffes right down to the very cute springhares, it would be a shame to let any of it go without the help it need. Please donate, any help you can give us is very much appreciated.

Quick catch up
Hi everyone. Sorry for our long absence we’ve been pretty busy here on Soysambu. First of all I’d like to say a big welcome to Shea who has joined our team for a couple of months to help with the giraffe project (it’s hard work identifying all the new ones although the babies are very cute!)
Our new camera trap has attracted a lot of interest from the wildlife, getting some fantastic close ups! KWS have recently performed a buffalo translocation, it was quite incredible to be able to get up close to these animals a little scary at time though as they are huge. Also we’ve had a team from Nairobi studying our bats and their parasites. We never knew we had so many bats or so many different species on the conservancy, very exciting times. Always good to find out something new!

DESNARING AND OUTREACH WEEK FEB-March.2014
The week kicked off well with Desnaring within Soysambu Conservancy. The team comprised of two BORNFREE staff, Three Soysambu staff, three volunteers and one attachment student. The objective of the week was to remove snares on the various strategic areas of the Conservancy and educates both the students/pupils and the entire community on the effects of Game meat and other illegal activities on protected areas based on the current wildlife bill.
During the operation, one male impala was found dead in a snare. On the same note the team rescued a zebra through Desnaring.
Outreach was carried out in primary, high schools and tertiary institution. Among the schools reached were; Echariria primary school, Itherero primary school , lady Ann high School and Word Ablaze bible institute. The institutions were given a talk and shown a video on the reasons as to why we should conserve wildlife.
