Rimoine is a local Maasai and was born in a village near the camp. He was one of the first people from his area to go to university in Nairobi.

 

Rimoine got to know Karl von Helend (his Co-founder)'s son Jacob during his university course. Jacob became a close friend and was Rimoine's best man at his wedding.

​

Karl had been looking for the right opportunity  to work in conservation in East Africa for 20 years. In 2009 Rimoine introduced Karl to the valley around Entumoto. He told Karl he had dreams of establishing a camp here. Karl realised this was the perfect place, and they began their journey creating the Siana Conservancy together. 

​

The World Wildlife Fund heard about Rimoine and Karl's work. In 2016 they agreed to help fund the ongoing wildlife protection in the Siana conservancy.

Karl von Heland, is the grandson of Erik von Heland. Erik was the manager of Karen Blixen’s farm from 1919 to 1931. The now world-renowned farm was the scene of Karen's famous novel and the film “Out of Africa”. 

​

Erik was a great friend of Karen Blixen's. They shared a love of nature and of Kenya, and Erik passed on that love to his grandson Karl. It was with this inspiration, and from a deep connection to the land, that Karl decided to create Entumoto and the surrounding Siana conservancy, in the Sekenani Valley, as a way to protect the unrivaled nature of this area. Now, 100 years after Erik and Karen were farming together, Karl continues to pass down the stories from “Out of Africa”, making Entumoto a truly unique safari camp with a magical history.
