Lion Kids Camp upgrades completed in Kenya's Samburu National Reserve

Zoo Atlanta has supported the upgrading of the Lion Kids Camp facilities in Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve through the Mabel Dorn Reeder Conservation Endowment Fund. In partnership with Ewaso Lions, the project has transformed temporary structures into a permanent learning space.

The upgraded camp includes new dining and learning areas, improved accommodations, enhanced kitchen facilities, and solar power. The construction involved nearly 200 local community members and was marked by a traditional Samburu blessing. The program aims to provide hands-on conservation education to young people to foster future wildlife protection leadership.
