Who

We Are

Ambokili Farm is an educational hub and a working showcase for future-proof agriculture, revitalizing semi-arid landscapes near Amboseli National Park in Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

We employ innovative farming methods, including agroecology, organic permaculture, and circular economy practices, in conjunction with cutting-edge and sustainable technologies, to restore degraded lands.

Our Impact

What three years has produced.

From dust-laden, gully-riddled wasteland to layered, productive growing systems.

Drought-tolerant indigenous species, working as ecological infrastructure across the farm.

Local households touched directly through training, employment, food, and shared knowledge.

Farmers, students, and visitors trained in agroecological practice on-site and in the field.

Our origin

From Barren Land To Fertile Land

In 2022, we started Ambokili Farm on a dust-laden, semi-arid landscape in Kimana town. The land was damaged, with gullies as deep as 2 meters and sheet erosion that had stripped the soil bare.

Learn how we transformed over 9 acres of barren, semi-arid land into a green oasis. Discover the story of resilience and restoration.

What we do

Four programmes, one integrated system.

Each programme connects to the others. Soil health feeds biodiversity; biodiversity feeds livelihoods; livelihoods sustain conservation. Take one out and three things break.

01

Agricultural Sustainability

Organic permaculture, circular economy, mindful consumption, sustainable food systems, and renewable energy. The working agroecological practice on the farm

04

Environmental Restoration & Conservation

Reversing environmental degradation through active restoration and conservation, reintroducing endangered species, enhancing soil health, and implementing regenerative farming practices that return life to damaged landscapes.

  • Regenerative Farming
  • Soil Health Restoration
  • Land Restoration
  • Wildlife Preservation
  • Endangered Species
One of the most eye-opening lessons I’ve learned at Ambokili Farm is the power of organic farming. Before, the kales we grew at home had a bitter taste, but since we switched to organic methods, that bitterness has disappeared.
