Indigenous Tree Planting, Kenya
In order to combat increasing deforestation and cultivate trees that are indigenous to the Masai Mara, one of the Sanctuary Retreats Philanthropy projects available to guests on a Kenya safari at Sanctuary Olonana is to plant a tree in a dedicated tree nursery within the camp. The tree species are more resistant to drought and provide shade and a natural habitat for the wildlife of the area – giving back to the environment surrounding the camp.
For guests, it is also an opportunity to make a difference while on holiday. Donors’ trees are tagged with their name and they receive a certificate in honour of their donation to combat climate change.
Since the project began in 2000, almost 5000 trees have been planted and with the continued support of the project, Sanctuary Olonana plans to reforest the area.
