A coalition of regional lawyers and environmental organisations has launched a fresh battle in the constitutional court, seeking to halt new luxury tourism developments in the Maasai Mara, near the Kenya-Tanzania border, arguing that approvals breached environmental laws.
The petition, filed in the Environment and Land Court in Nairobi, targets a chain of luxury facilities including the Ritz-Carlton Maasai Mara Safari Camp, Sala's Camp and Elewana Sand River Masai Mara over their alleged presence in protected ecological zones within the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
