Conservation
The camp employs 24 rangers from local communities to protect the vast Ol Lentille Conservancy. The team runs anti-poaching patrols, mitigates human-wildlife conflict and deals with cattle encroachment on the Conservancy ensuring the wildlife can thrive in harmony with local people.
Environment
The camp manages a conservation area and since its creation, the local water table has risen significantly, so much so that previously dry springs are flowing again. 90% of the water used at the camp is stored rainwater with very little needed to be extracted from the ground.
Community
Since the lodge opened in 2007, The Ol Lentille Trust has raised over $5 million which has aided the building of four schools and numerous classrooms at eight other schools, a hospital and multiple water and sanitation projects.
