Elsamere Conservation Center

 
Elsamere Conservation Center is the former home of the late Joy Adamson with her husband George. Joy was the author of Born Free and she did much of her writing at Elsamere up until her murder in 1980.

Elsamere Conservation Center now focuses on lake ecology and environmental awareness. Local wildlife is monitored and over 200 species of birds have been recorded at Elsamere.

An on-site museum features a memorial room with some of Joy's paintings and artifacts. A video is shown about the story of Elsa the lioness. Visitors to Elsamere can enjoy a cup of tea on the lawns and possibly encounter the black and white Colobus monkeys in the trees.
Address: Elsamere Conservation Centre, Box 1497, Naivasha, Rift Valley , Kenya
