Ngenyin Community Conservancy
Unique Viewing cliff
Ngenyin is a conservancy located along the shores of Lake Baringo with a unique viewing cliff called Kapkotor, where visitors can see the entire conservancy landscape and Lake Baringo.
The conservancy was established in 2002 after two elephants, believed to come from Kerio Valley, passed through the area and swam across Lake Baringo to Laikipia Ranges, sparking the community members to form a conservancy to protect the migratory corridors of wildlife. Ngenyin Conservancy is home to approximately 450 species of birds recognized as IImportant Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs). It is dedicated to improving the livelihood of the local community, protecting wildlife and its habitat, and promoting community engagement in conservation.

How we work
The Conservancy is committed to working in partnership with governmental, non-governmental, community, and private stakeholders to achieve a shared vision for a healthy and sustainable community conservation. Ngenyin is 100% community-owned and is governed by a voluntary board that draws no remuneration. The revenue generated is used for conservation and community development.
Ngenyin Conservancy has 461 registered members, consisting of 277 males and 184 females. There are also 124 youths and 12 people with disabilities (PWDs). The conservancy has four rangers, two of whom are employed and two are volunteers. Ngenyin is managed by a conservancy manager and 9 board members, including 3 females and 6 males. The female members are mainly engaged in activities such as beadwork and fish trading, while the male members are involved in pasture production and livestock fattening programs.
The Conservancy has plans to set up a campsite to accommodate various visiting groups.
