Mpala Research Center

In 1991, STRI was instrumental in establishing the Mpala Research Centre, a site for multidisciplinary research and training in Africa , in collaboration with Princeton University , the Kenya Wildlife Service, the National Museums of Kenya , and the Mpala Wildlife Foundation. Located on the Laikipia Plateau in north central Kenya , the Centre provides an ideal setting for research in a variety of disciplines, offering 49,107 acres of savannah and dry woodland, an extensive wildlife community typical of East Africa , and ample housing and laboratory space for 35 researchers and students.

The Mpala Research Centre is perfect for studies ranging from ecology and botany to animal behavior and human-wildlife interactions. Research at Mpala can be conducted by any applicant with an explicitly proposed, approved, and funded project.
