Grazing Management Plan

A sustainable grazing system that balances wildlife conservation, ecosystem health, and community livelihoods.

Purpose of the Grazing Plan

This grazing management plan ensures controlled livestock movement, balanced pasture utilization, ecosystem recovery, wildlife protection, and harmony with tourism and conservation objectives.

Why Grazing Matters

Responsible grazing strengthens soils, supports biodiversity, and builds resilient grasslands in the Maasai Mara ecosystem.

Healthy Soils

Improved soil structure, water infiltration, and nutrient cycling.

Biodiversity

Diverse habitats that support wildlife, birds, and insects.

Livestock Health

Better nutrition, pasture quality, and reduced feed pressure.

Climate Resilience

Grasslands store carbon and reduce land degradation.

Rotational Grazing System

Ensuring pasture recovery and long-term sustainability.

Phase 1 — Grazing

Controlled livestock grazing under close supervision.

Phase 2 — Recovery

Vegetation regrowth and soil restoration.

Phase 3 — Resting

Livestock exclusion while wildlife thrives.

Phase 4 — Assessment

Evaluate pasture condition and prepare the next cycle.
