Maasai Leaders Sue to Demolish Ritz-Carlton Camp Blocking Wildebeest Migration Path.

 Dapash filed a lawsuit in August against Marriott and local partner Lazizi Mara, claiming their new Ritz-Carlton camp—with 20 upscale tents and plunge pools—sits directly on a vital crossing between Kenya's Maasai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti. Satellite images and videos show structures and altered riverbanks not in original plans, sparking boycott calls on X and debates over violating Narok County's tourism moratorium to protect ecosystems. Lazizi Mara cites a government environmental approval saying no risk to migration, while the court has gagged Dapash's social media posts amid the clash between luxury tourism and conservation.
