Become a ranger. Save real elephants.

You are Mara — a lost elephant calf taken in by the rangers of the Maasai Mara. Rebuild their headquarters, fly patrol drones, replant the savanna, and befriend the wild — in a game where playing supports the real Mara Elephant Project.

The night the poachers came, Mara lost her mother — and the same poachers burned the rangers’ headquarters. Every mission you complete — every wall raised, tree planted, and patrol flown — rebuilds her home, protects the herds, and brings her closer to finding her family. 🧡

Do what real MARA rangers do

Every simulation is based on the real work rangers do every day in the Greater Mara — told at baby-elephant height.

Rebuild the headquarters

Pump water, fell timber, mix cement, and paint the new HQ any colors you like — then watch the habitat come back to life around it.

Fly the patrol drone

First-person flights over camp with ranger-pilot Gedian — training for the night patrols that keep real herds safe.

Race the supply run

A safari driving game down the red murram road — dodge wildlife, stop poachers, and keep Mara in the truck!

🌱

Grow the habitat

Plant with Nelly — bananas bring vervet monkeys, mangoes bring hornbills, acacias bring giraffes…

🐗

Befriend the wild

Baby animals hide all over camp. Find them, photograph them, collect their cards.

📡

Learn with Nuru

The AI in Mara's collar teaches real conservation — lessons, real MEP footage, and quizzes that level you up.

The elephants you help… help her back

As your Ranger Level grows, elephants your work helped save reach out through the collar network — Kegol, Naeku, Hugo, Tembo, Zawadi. Each carries a story… and a clue on the trail to Mara’s mother. Only the elephants can help her follow it.
