Nashulai Maasai Conservancy

Netii Apa (“once, long, long ago”), the Maasai people came down along the Nile River until they found the vast plains and high mountains of the Great Rift Valley (“the cradle of humanity’). Pastoralists, we chose this land for our home. And here we lived, tending our livestock, roaming the vast landscape to find our pastures — as did the other inhabitants of the savannah, large and small: antelope and impala, wildebeest and zebra, giraffe, elephant, tribes of lions and many more…. Life and land interconnected at the very deepest of levels. Over the centuries we have gained a deep, unmatched knowledge about how to live in this place. It is carried in our stories.
