The national parks are administered
by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) in Nairobi as total sanctuaries
where human habitation (apart from the tourist lodges) is
prohibited. Things seem to be gradually changing, however, as the
benefits of readmitting traditio- nal pastoralists begin to be
appreciated(humans and wildlife lived in equilibrium before the
British arrived). National reserves, run by local councils, tend to
be less strict on the question of human encroachment.
