Campi ya Kanzi November News

About the Founding of Campi ya Kanzi

Our new film, Wild Life, premiered on October 22nd in Brescia, Italy. Featuring footage from 1969 through 2012, it tells the story of Campi ya Kanzi’s founding and chronicles three generations of the Belpietro family in Kenya. The film was directed by Enrico Ranzanici, and the score was composed by Simone Lombardi. Campi ya Kanzi would like to thank everyone who came to the premiere and offered their support. We are thrilled to announce that the event raised $5,000 for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust!

If you missed the premiere, we invite you to watch the film in the window below. Enjoy!

In October, Campi ya Kanzi hosted ten guests for a week-long, rejuvenating yoga retreat. In addition to hikes and game drives, the guests enjoyed restorative yoga practice twice a day in a variety of beautiful locations – at Okoikuma for a sundowner, at Tembo House under the stars, even pool-side with a view of Kilimanjaro. The guests represented Modo Yoga NYC and Moksha Yoga Montreal, which have raised over $85,000 for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust. We are extremely grateful to the Modo and Moksha communities for their tremendous support, and we absolutely loved hosting their yoga safari. In fact, we are still debating who enjoyed it more – the guests or us!
