Owners Peter Jones and Margot Kiser-Jones fell in love with Ndarakwai's desolate beauty as they were looking for a smaller parcel of land outside Arusha. Once settled, they set up a conservancy to eliminate poaching, restore wildlife habitats to their former glory and create sustainable tourism programs benefiting wildlife and the local Masai. Peter Jones is a British archaeologist who worked at Olduvai Gorge between 1976 and 1984 and later gave up teaching archaeology at Harvard to live in Tanzania.
