Adventure with a Cause
Every journey with us leaves something behind: books in a classroom, water on a ranger’s patrol, trees in the ground.
Since 2018, Kampur Travel Diaries has worked with conservation and community partners across Kenya to support the people and wildlife that make our safaris possible. Here is what that has added up to so far.
Our Impact Since 2018
1. Over 66,000 exercise books, hand-delivered
Since 2018 we have personally delivered more than 66,000 exercise books, along with pens, pencils, erasers and teachers’ books. They go to primary schools in Marsabit, Samburu, Isiolo and Laikipia. Each drive reaches around 1,200 children, and we return to the same schools year after year.
2. Over 1,300 pieces of kit for the people who protect wildlife
Rangers walk long patrols in some of Kenya’s hottest landscapes. We have provided 895 insulated, refillable water flasks and 478 Camelbak hydration packs to rangers, scouts and carers. They are in use at nine reserves, conservancies and conservation organisations, from Samburu and Shaba to Tsavo, the Mara and Solio. The flasks and camelbacks also replace single-use plastic bottles on patrol.
3. Over 100,000 indigenous trees planted at Solio
We supply indigenous tree seed to Solio Game Reserve in Laikipia and help maintain its tree nursery. There the seed is germinated and planted back into the reserve and the surrounding community land. Since 2023 more than 100,000 seedlings grown from our seed have been planted at Solio, which is home to the Eastern Black and Southern White Rhinos.
4. Conservation education for the next generation
Since 2023 we have partnered with Mara Elephant Project on its conservation education programme, which we fully fund. The programme works in schools in the Greater Mara where people and elephants live side by side.
- 2025: 921 learners, 12 schools, 3,575 trees planted by students, 7 new wildlife clubs
- 2026: 14 schools, with 1,198 learners taking part between April and June
In Mara Elephant Project’s 2026 survey of learners, 96% said they feel personally responsible for protecting the environment.
5. Keeping people and elephants apart in Tsavo
Since July 2026 we have funded the salaries of three fence attendants who maintain Tsavo Trust’s 33 km elephant exclusion fence in Kamungi Conservancy. Since the fence was finished, humanโelephant conflict incidents there have fallen from 500 in 2021 to 33 in 2025, according to Tsavo Trust’s 2026 assessment.
6. A snake handler for a whole community
Since July 2025 we have funded the salary ofย Tsavo Trust’s professional snake handler in Kamungi. In that time he has safely relocated 44 snakes away from homes and helped households after snakebites. He has also trained hundreds of community members in snake safety and first aid.
7. Healthier wildlife, stronger communities
- 538 dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies and distemper in Westgate Conservancy, Samburu (2024). This protects families and stops the diseases spreading to lions and other wild carnivores.
- 17 water-truck deliveries to drought-hit villages in Marsabit South and Samburu North (2022), through Kenya Drylands Education Fund.
- Habitat seed for the critically endangered hirola: 50 kg of grass seed and 6 kg of acacia seed for the Hirola Conservation Programme (2024).
8. Dignity and opportunity for girls
- Over 550 reusable sanitary kits to schoolgirls, female teachers and conservancy staff in Marsabit, Samburu, Laikipia and the Mara. The kits help girls stay in class every day of the month.
- A four-day Girls Empowerment Workshop for 53 girls in Aitong, Maasai Mara (December 2023), with Pastoralist Child Foundation. It covered ending FGM and child marriage, staying in school, rights, leadership and careers.
