For most tourists to Kenya, animals are often the first order of business. The people, whose lives here can be hard, are often ignored. Food insecurity, long a problem, has been intensified by a historic drought that began in 2020 and may be abating only now.⁠

Around the time David Bonnouvrier, CEO of DNA Model Management, and Trish Goff, a model-turned–broker with Sotheby’s International Realty, moved to a remote area of northern Kenya, they started an organization called Knot on My Planet, which was launched in 2016 as a anti-poaching and anti–ivory trafficking campaign and has raised $15 million.⁠

The couple’s home is adjacent to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a 62,000-acre sanctuary founded in 1995. Nearby, there are so many zebras, including the endangered Grevy’s breed, with attenuated, elegant stripes and fuzzy ears, that they almost start to feel banal. The white and black rhinos, fewer in number but reliably visible even without binoculars, never do. And yes, there are elephants.⁠

The couple has also found ways to contribute to the community, like organizing a children's soccer league and rehabilitating run-down playing fields, sponsoring a family of five boys down the road and setting up a three-acre educational community garden in order to grow indigenous crops.⁠

“Being here is like an onion,” Goff says. “Every time you peel back a layer, you see there’s more you can do…. As they say in Kenya, ‘pole pole’ (slowly), it is important to take your time and listen before jumping in to fix what may not be broken.”⁠
