Kitich sits on National Forestry Land and is surrounded by the Ngilai Community Conservancy and a further 383,000 acres of land under community managed conservation areas across Northern Kenya, supported by the Northern Rangelands Trust. 

Kitich Forest Camp is proud to be part of the conservation journey with the Ngilai community!

Together, these conservancies are empowering local people to take charge of their wild spaces, to build sustainable economies linked to conservation, lead peace efforts to mend years of conflict, and shape government regulations to support it all. As institutions, they not only give people a voice, but provide a platform for developing sustainable enterprise and livelihoods either directly or indirectly related to conservation. 

NRT member community conservancies work to conserve wildlife and sustainably manage the grassland, forest, river and marine ecosystems upon which livelihoods depend.  As a result, a region once infamous for conflict and poaching is now at the forefront of community-led development, inextricably linked to the protection of its incredible wildlife and landscapes.
