Conservation through Education

The Mpala Research Centre and Wildlife Conservancy is dedicated to living with wildlife sustainably. We are located in Laikipia, Kenya, and have approximately 1,500 elephants on the conservancy at any given time. Mpala Live! is the education outreach arm of the conservancy. Our website is Mpalalive.org We offer numerous lesson plans, videos, and interactive materials about elephants as well as the other creatures with which we live.

We have live cams focused on a bend of the Ewaso N’Giro river. There live a resident pod of hippos visited daily by elephants and many other creatures as a favored watering hole. The cams are sustained by our partner Explore.org. Watch them live at:
