A great safari.
A little more good.
The wildlife brings you to Kenya. The people you meet and the places you discover stay with you long after you leave.
Kenya is our home. Through support for local schools, tree planting, local employment and thoughtful lodge choices, we want our safaris to contribute to the places we love.

The places behind the journey
Our home. Our responsibility.
A safari connects many lives: the guide who welcomes you, the people preparing your meals and the communities living beside the parks. These are the areas where PMK is putting its care into practice.
Growing something lasting
Tree planting in Ngong is part of our conservation efforts beyond the safari route.
Our tree planting →Opportunity through tourism
We employ people locally and work with the teams whose skills bring your safari together.
Meet the local connection →More thoughtful choices
We use eco-friendly lodges and encourage care for wildlife and the places we visit.
Travel with care →Education · Masai Mara communities
Every child deserves the chance to learn.
Beyond the wildlife and open plains, the Mara is home to families building their futures. PMK works with local schools around the Masai Mara, supporting efforts to bring education to the surrounding community.
It is a connection that matters to us. We want the places our guests enjoy to be places where local people can find opportunity, too.
If you would like to learn more about our school support, speak with our team before you travel. We can explain the current needs and discuss an appropriate way to help.
Ask us about school support →Conservation · Ngong
A connection to Kenya that keeps growing.
Our conservation efforts include planting trees in Ngong. It is one practical way we contribute beyond the parks and reserves that guests come to explore.
We believe care for nature belongs in the everyday decisions we make, as well as in the special moments we share on safari.
Interested in this work? Ask our team about our tree planting activities and whether an opportunity is available around your travel dates.

Local people · Local knowledge
Your journey has people behind it.
From planning in Nairobi to the welcome on arrival, your safari is brought together by people who know and care about Kenya. PMK creates local employment, with work across guiding, operations and guest arrangements.
The camps and lodges on your route bring more people into the story, from hospitality teams to the people keeping each day running smoothly.
When you plan directly with our Kenyan team, you get to know the people responsible for your trip.

Enjoy the wild.
Leave room for the wild.
We use sustainable, eco-friendly lodges as part of our accommodation choices. If a particular practice matters to you, tell us when we plan your trip so we can check the details with the proposed property.
Ask about water use, energy, waste management or local sourcing. Practices vary between properties, and your lodge choice should reflect what matters to you.
Explore our accommodation choices →Our approach to a considerate safari
- Follow the rules of each park, reserve and conservancy, and take your guide's advice around wildlife.
- Give animals space. Let a sighting unfold without feeding, calling to or disturbing them.
- Keep litter with you until it can be disposed of properly. Be mindful of water and electricity at camp.
- Ask before photographing people and approach community visits with courtesy and curiosity.
Small choices · Shared care
Make your visit a thoughtful one.
There are simple ways to travel with care. Learn from your guide, respect your hosts and choose experiences that let you connect with Kenya at a comfortable pace.
Meet people with respect
A community visit can be a chance to listen, ask questions and learn. Ask our team how a proposed visit is arranged and what is included before adding it to your itinerary.
Discuss a Maasai community visit →Ask before bringing gifts
If you would like to support a school or community activity, contact us before packing donations or arranging a visit. Discussing current needs first helps make your support more useful and considerate.
