The Environment and Land Court has struck out a legal challenge against the operation of the Ritz-Carlton Maasai Mara Safari Camp, a luxury hotel. The court ruled that the petition was filed in the wrong forum and after the project had already commenced operations, making intervention difficult.

• The court upheld a preliminary objection by Narok County government, citing a lack of jurisdiction.
• The petition was initially filed by conservationist Dr. Joel Maitamei Ole Dapash, alleging issues with the camp's environmental impact assessment and potential interference with wildlife migration.
• The court noted that conservatory orders, which aim to preserve the status quo, cannot be issued for events that have already occurred, and the camp had opened on August 15, 2025.
