Strategic partnerships
Since 2007, KWT has cultivated and nurtured partnerships with like-minded
organizations.
In 2019: KWT signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the following
organisations:
A three year MoU with Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Under this MoU, KWT will
work with KWS to carry out joint research and monitoring of large carnivores in
Kenya and to jointly provide a platform for education, outreach and mentorship
to interested parties.
We also signed MoUs with our long-term donor partners, The Original Ker &
Downey Safaris and Asilia Africa. The Original Ker & Downey Safaris were the
founding partners of KWT and have been very instrumental in supporting our
work especially in Amboseli. Asilia Africa has been supporting our scholarship
programme and also collaborating with our Mara Predator Conservation
Programme in supporting the wildlife club activities.
KWT further established new strategic partnerships with:
1) Kicheche Camps: Under our new partnership, Kicheche Camps supported the
development of information panels at the Tony Lapham Predator Hub (photos on
the MPCP section of this report)
2) Monkey Adventures: Outfits safari for clients to destinations in East Africa
and one of the locations they visit is Maasai Mara. Under the new partnership,
Monkey Adventures will support our Mara Predator Conservation
