SEGERA'S COMMUNITY GOES WAY BEYOND

ITS BOUNDARIES

Every stay contributes to the livelihoods and traditional cultures of local communities. Unique opportunities are offered to visitors to learn from and about the indigenous people, their centuries-old traditions and ways of life. Segera not only provides employment for nearby villages, but also a wide range of opportunities to improve livelihoods by harnessing traditional skills such as beading and traditional knowledge of medicinal plants.

Venture into the conservancy on foot, guided by a Samburu herbalist whose knowledge of the land's healing plants has been passed down through generations. You'll experience a living conversation between culture and conservation, people and nature.

EDUCATION

Visit one of these incredible programs. The ZEITZ foundation has built 6 schools that educate over 2000 local children, including the "Waterbank School” which harvests rainwater and won LEED Architecture’s “Greenest School In The World” award.

COLLABORATION

Meet the SATUBO collective - a collaborative beading and sewing collective has united Samburu, Turkana and Borana tribes-women and helped support many families, some with single mums at their head.

AGRICULTURE

Tour the Greater Segera Perma Culture gardens and Tree of Life forest nursery are providing sustainable opportunities to understand co-planting techniques, seed scarification and more.

CONSERVATION

See East Africa's first female rangers academy graduates in action. Launched on Segera in 2019 the academy has graduated women who now work in the Segera Rhino Sanctuary Ops team and our Anti-Poaching Canine Tracker Unit.

As a guest you are welcomed by the community to engage with and experience some beautiful Kenyan traditions.
