Kenya is leading the way in conservation projects that draw on the wisdom of communities and the entrepreneurial flair of ecotourism operators. Collaborations between safari companies and local communities are yielding remarkable results – one more way in which Kenya is leading the world. On this safari, you’ll experience first-hand how different skillsets are working together to achieve meaningful, long-term results. You’ll see how iconic species are being saved, and how communities are benefitting from economic upliftment initiatives. In addition, better access to education and healthcare is improving the lives of conservation stakeholders. As a traveller, you can enjoy immersive, authentic cultural encounters, astonishing wildlife viewing and the sense that not only are you in the heart of an authentic African wilderness, but that you’re also making a genuine contribution to the vital work that is being undertaken by passionate, committed people across Kenya.
