Conservation
By visiting The Emakoko every guest pays a conservation fee of USD $43 per adult and $22 per child which goes towards maintaining the most unique national park in the world, the Nairobi National Park.
By the end of 2019 The Emakoko has paid over $850,000 in total to Nairobi National Park and is one of its biggest supporters.
Together with direct conservancy fees paid the Emakoko:
Supports a local school
Supports the ‘Lion-Light’ project that aims to reduce potential human wildlife conflict between livestock and the Nairobi National Parks lion that wander out of the Park at night.
Has gone great lengths to eradicate and minimise single use plastic. All water bottles are glass and the lodge has it’s own water treatment and bottle filling equipment on site.
All glass and tins are recycled while vegetable waste feeds The Emakoko’s organically reared chickens whose eggs are used by the lodge.

“I think if every human being on the planet could come and visit places like this, they would be much more inclined to fight to protect them. The reason that only a few of us are protecting them are because we are the lucky
ones that live to see this and those that do are the ones that want to fight to keep it.”
