For over 2,000 years, the Maasai and other pastoralist communities in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area have shared their land with lions. However, habitat loss, climate change, and increasing human-wildlife conflict threaten both the traditional way of life and the survival of these iconic big cats.


Restoring Balance Between People & Lions

Kope Lion works to re-establish lion corridors between the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, helping to prevent further fragmentation of lion populations. Their community-driven approach supports coexistence strategies that protect both livestock and wildlife, ensuring a sustainable future for all.


Science-Backed Conservation

Kope Lion builds upon 50+ years of lion research, making it one of the most studied lion populations in the world. Their work provides data-driven solutions to human-wildlife conflict while empowering local communities with conservation knowledge and resources.


Our Commitment

At African Environments, our Mysigio Camp is located in an area where lions frequently roam between the Ngorongoro Crater and Ndutu Plains. We proudly support Kope Lion’s vital work and remain committed to responsible tourism that benefits both people and wildlife.
