The Rekero Trust team led by Gerard, Rainee and Jackson feel very strongly about the preservation of Kenya’s unique and precious wildlife and environment. The Trust mission statement below reflects this.

“To promote Kenyan tourism through the provision of a high quality safari experience encompassing an insight into animal behaviour, flora, fauna, and local cultures.”

There is little in this great wilderness that we have not come to know in the three generations of the Beaton family that have lived here. Reinforced by a two generation partnership with the Looseyia family in our businesses 'Rekero' and 'Nomadic Encounters' we have learned to respect this land and within that have delivered one of Africa’s finest marriages of wildlife, culture and visitors. Born from a strong ethos that one should ‘Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints' we have evolved a gentle partnership that is there to be shared.  

It has always been our shared belief that we collectively are guardians of this wilderness and through that we seek to share the deepest and finest points while not shying away from the challenges that continue to evolve through the years. Rekero and Nomadic Encounters are of course  businesses, but they have first and foremost developed through their strong relationship with their neighbours. The strong bond and successes in poverty reduction have been recognised by some of the world’s leading conservationists. By using tourism to reduce poverty and thereby introduce the benefits of conservation to communities has to be our proudest achievement.

The important aspect of our style is that there is no blue print. We operate, as we always have, in a changing and demanding environment and it is not one that you can just apply a template however well it’s thought through. It is about adapting to the environment and your resources and that is the way we seek to achieve a sustainable difference for those who live here and those who come and stay at Rekero or the Nomadic Encounter houses.

To provide greater focus on Community Conservation we have extended our fund raising activities. We place equal weight and therefore division of funds towards education and the environment including wildlife (as they are inextricably linked) in part of the Mara North Conservancy known as Ol Chorro Losoit where Rekero Trust’s HQ is located. It is from this area that many of the Rekero and Nomadic Encounters employees originate.

This area represents an important animal corridor and combined with the surrounding lands making up the Mara North Conservancy provides an extended eco system which is vital to the preservation of the wildlife within Masai Mara National Reserve itself.
