The Conservancy encompasses untouched afro-montane forest, alpine meadows and valleys. It is located within the Mt Kenya Forest Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site of some 200,000 ha famous for its wildlife, mountain peaks and pristine rivers. Conservancy management is looking for up to 6 investors to develop the following activities:
Fly fishing and trout management on 10 km of alpine rivers
Mountaineering and trekking on 200,000 ha
Wildlife and forest conservation (elephant, buffalo, leopard, fish otter)
The minimum investment per investor is $37,000, together with the payment of an annual fee covering the running costs of the Conservancy. The Conservancy is 3 hrs by car from Nairobi and close to several well known National Parks and private wildlife reserves. A 6 bed log cabin will be built which can be used free of charge by investors for a certain number of days. When not occupied by investors the log cabin can be booked by tourists and safari operators. The Conservancy is managed by a limited company registered in Kenya and investors will take up shares in the company in proportion to their investments.
