Wildlife Conservancies in Kericho
Chebulu Conservancy: Beauty in Progress
The proposed Chebulu Conservancy is 100 acres of indigenous land situated on the western flank of Kericho. It is about 30 west of Kericho, along the Sosiot-Sondu Road in the Singowet area of Belgut Constituency. The idea to establish Chebulu Conservancy was mooted in 2013 to preserve the 21 acres Chebulu Forest, which is one of the last remaining indigenous forest patches in this fast-developing region. Likewise, residents living around the pocket-sized forest, in Chemiromben and Ainamoi villages, gave up some of their land to bolster this effort, with the County Government setting aside Kshs. 86 Million towards its revamp. Nevertheless, the idea failed to take off, and despite its beauty, with some wild animals like monkeys, baboons, snakes and plenty of birds, Chebulu Forest still faces a serious threat of being wiped-out, if nothing is done urgently.
Kenya has about 110 wildlife conservancies, all promoting the placid co-existence of local people and wildlife in mutual well-being. Improved security, better land management, income, employment and support to community projects have all encouraged the epic rise of conservancies unique attractions and experiences.
