Tourism activities at Naboisho Wildlife Conservancy in the Masai Mara were disrupted yesterday after more than 400 members invaded the 60,000-acre protected area protesting what they termed measly dividends.

The members said they did not want Greater Mara Management (GMM) Limited, a new company, to manage the conservancy.
