TEMBO BY JACKSON CAMP AND SPIRIT OF TEMBO CAMPS OWNER, MAASAI MARA SOLIDARITY, CO-FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Am Jackson Naurori a native Maasai who has worked as a wildlife photographer, naturalist, and community organizer for most of my life. Following my passion and wide experience as wildlife photography guide, I established Tembo by Jackson Camp in 2018 and Spirit of Tembo Luxury Lodge in 2023, a Kenya’s top wildlife photography tour and travel company to share my passion of an authentic African safari experience over the years. Tembo by Jackson camp is also the first and only safari tour company run by a Masai from Kenya.
With my passion for wildlife tourism, am able advocate for the preservation of the Maasai Mara ecosystem and culture by supporting traditional and sustainable ways of living that are in harmony with wildlife and the environment while also improving the lives of my community, especially the youth and women. Many youths and women have been empowered through different Camp guest initiative such as Discovery the Maasai Community and Culture engagement. Women self-help
The Maasai Mara Solidarity, an organization supported by Tembo by Jackson Camps is dedicated to educating Maasai children from low-income families and providing school scholarships for local children. Through this organization, we’ve built and maintained several school classrooms, sponsored primary school teachers, supplied thousands of curriculum school books & school stationaries. Additionally, the organization works with students and the community to raise awareness of the importance of protecting the natural environment through sponsorship of wildlife exposure trips for school children and screening wildlife films.
I prioritize the interests of my community, society, and culture by guaranteeing equality in a sector controlled by foreign capital and operators.
