About Us Giraffe Ambassadors is a mission-driven organization based in the heart of Kenya’s 48,000-acre Soysambu Conservancy. We provide a rare, front-line opportunity for volunteers to actively safeguard a population of 190 Critically Endangered Nubian giraffes.
Where We Work
We operate in the Soysambu Conservancy, nestled in the heart of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. This private conservancy is a critical wildlife corridor, a RAMSAR site, and part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. The area is secure and managed, offering a safe environment for international visitors. Regarding health, the region is high-altitude; we recommend volunteers stay current on routine vaccinations and consult a travel clinic regarding malaria prophylaxis and Yellow Fever certification for Kenya.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission: To protect the Nubian giraffe and its co-inhabitants through community-led conservation, predator-prey monitoring, and sustainable habitat restoration.
Vision: A resilient East African landscape where majestic megafauna like lions and giraffes thrive alongside empowered local communities.
Our Goals
Wildlife Monitoring: To track and record the movements and health of both the Nubian giraffe and the African lion to assist in rangeland management.
Habitat Restoration: To maintain a robust tree nursery with an annual goal of 20,000 indigenous seedlings to restore the conservancy’s flora.
Conflict Mitigation: To understand the interactions between apex predators and prey to reduce human-wildlife conflict in the surrounding areas.
