Description

When Rob and Storm Mason first sat down with the elders of the Samburu community in northern Kenya, the elders envisioned a 60-room luxury hotel. But the Masons had a vision for Kalepo Camp — an intimate six-tent property designed to attract high-value travelers seeking deep connection, not mass consumption. This episode details Kalepo’s success. The Samburu community holds equity in the land; their livestock still roam freely around the conservancy. And the camp — with its six beautifully designed tents — now generates meaningful income without compromising the landscape that sustains it.
