Big Life Kenya

Big Life originally began operations in southern Kenya, where our largest project area is located in terms of funding and scope.

Big Life Kenya's headquarters are located on Mbirikani Group Ranch, near Amboseli National Park, and is where all administration and support staff are based. HQ includes a full vehicle service center, tracker dog unit, central radio room, and employee housing for management staff.

This is the nerve center of all Kenyan operations, including management and logistics for hundreds of local Maasai rangers and field staff.
