OUR IMPACT

Travel with meaning, give back with soul

OUR IMPACT

We really want to make the difference

A safari with Ol Moran brings you close to Kenya’s extraordinary wildlife and to the people who live alongside it and make this country magical.

Our giving back is concrete: real work, in places you can visit and understand. From supporting local employment and education to getting involved in community projects that move forward with every safari, your journey directly contributes to something bigger. 

‍See the difference your travel makes, meet the people behind it and take part.

PLAN YOUR SAFARI

From the very first day, we knew we wanted to be part of its story.

THE PROJECT

Ilmotiok Primary School

Our first project. Our commitment to Ilmotiok.

Ilmotiok Primary School serves 390 children from the surrounding communities of Laikipia. When we first stepped through its gates, we saw something simple but powerful: dedicated teachers, curious children and a community determined to give them a better future.
‍
The school has the foundations, but many of the things we take for granted are still missing. There is no running water, proper kitchen, secure fencing or electricity. Clean water is limited, and even basic supplies such as books, paper and stationery are not always available.
‍
We are taking the work step by step: responding to immediate needs while planning for more ambitious improvements. Each step makes school a better place to learn today and create more possibilities for the years ahead. 
‍
We don’t want to simply donate and walk away.
‍
We want to build a lasting relationship, listen to what the school needs and work with the community on this project over time.

Milestones for Ilmotiok Primary School

Phase 0
The essentials

Starting with what children need now: books, stationery, sanitary products and food.
‍

Phase 1
A safe foundation

A clean and proper kitchen where nutritious meals can be prepared safely and enjoyed by the children.
‍

Phase 2
Building for the future

Access to clean water and electricity, improving everyday conditions for learning, hygiene and health.

Phase 3
Growing together

Looking ahead to secure fencing, science laboratories and further improvements to the school’s facilities.

There is a lot to do.

We are starting with small, practical steps, building the foundations for a safer, healthier environment, one project at a time.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE

Distribution of sanitary products

For a girl without access to sanitary products, attending school during her period can become difficult. We have begun distributing sanitary products at Ilmotiok Primary School. It is one of the first actions in a much longer commitment, and a reminder that a basic item can make a meaningful difference to an ordinary school day.
OUR PEOPLE

Ol Moran’s stories

The people behind Ol Moran bring different knowledge and hopes to this project: the guides who share the landscape with our guests, the team building the safaris and the community partners shaping the work at the school.

These are their stories. A chance to know the people whose commitment gives Ol Moran its character.

OUR VISION

To redefine safari travel as a force that supports wildlife and the communities who protect it, built on deep, respectful connections.
