FUTURES IN THE WILD
Sustainable Conservation and Community Development projects in the Mara
through friends of The Wild Portfolio.
THE WILD FAMILY
The Wild Portfolio aims to be as low impact as possible, to be community and conservation orientated and to have a significant positive impact on the people and environment in which they live and work.
Futures in the Wild works with sustainable conservation and community development projects in the Mara through friends of The Wild Portfolio. The areas of focus are education, health care, women’s empowerment and sustainable enterprises that support the preservation of wild spaces.
“The most important perceived threat to elephants is the loss and fragmentation of habitat caused by ongoing human population expansion and rapid land conversion.”

A safari investment in conservation
Naretoi offers investors the opportunity to own a property in the Maasai Mara, and support conservation. Buyers are able to build their dream safari home on a 5 acre plot on the Naretoi estate. This estate has gone through a pioneering re-wilding program, where an intensive farm has returned to its natural state and now provides a protected wildlife habitat for thriving biodiversity on the edge of the Mara Ecosystem.
