Discover the Wild. Love Nature. Protect the Future.

Tempo Wild Cubs is a community-based conservation education organization inspiring the next generation of wildlife guardians through hands-on learning and outdoor adventure.

Rooted at Samburu Tempo Camp, in one of Kenya's most remarkable wildlife landscapes.

Welcome

Every encounter with the wild has the power to spark a lifetime of curiosity.

Through fun, hands-on learning and outdoor adventures, we help young minds discover the beauty of nature, understand the importance of conservation, and develop a lifelong respect for wildlife and the environment.

Whether it's discovering animal tracks, planting trees, learning from Samburu elders, observing birds, or experiencing wildlife in its natural habitat, every adventure is an opportunity to learn, grow, and become a champion for conservation.
