Guardians of the Mara
Protect the Giants. Preserve the wild
Be more than a traveler, be a protector of the wild
Conservation is more than a cause—it’s a journey that invites each of us to take part in protecting the natural wonders of our planet. At Wildspace Safaris, we believe in safaris with purpose. Through our partnership with the Mara Elephant Project (MEP), your adventure into the wild becomes a direct contribution to preserving the magnificent elephants of the Maasai Mara and the fragile ecosystems they call home. Whether it’s witnessing the Mara from the sky, walking through ancient forests with rangers, or sharing stories over tea with elephant conservationists, we offer exclusive experiences that connect travelers with the land, its people, and its wildlife in deeply meaningful ways.
