Kitirua Conservancy

Kitirua Conservancy is a 25,000-acre private wildlife conservancy situated on the western side of Amboseli National Park, straddling the Kenya-Tanzania border. The conservancy offers some of the most exclusive and intimate safari experiences in the greater Amboseli ecosystem.

With strictly limited visitor numbers, Kitirua provides a sense of untouched wilderness that is increasingly rare in popular safari destinations. The conservancy’s open grasslands and acacia woodlands support large populations of elephants, lions, cheetahs, and plains game, all with unobstructed views of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Activities include off-road game drives, guided bush walks with Maasai warriors, sundowner experiences, and visits to authentic Maasai villages. The conservancy model directly benefits local Maasai landowners, who receive lease payments in exchange for keeping the land open for wildlife.
