When you choose a safari to Kenya, you assist in generating impact and also protecting the wildlife. However, when you participate in the conservation activities, you will put your effort in conserving Africa’s and Kenya’s most endangered species. This is a direct impact to the local community, sustainability and ensuring we have wildlife for our future generations by working with the rangers and local communities.
The Daphne sheldrick elephant sanctuary is such one example. Reteti is the northern frontier while Ithumba in the south western Kenya both aid in restoring baby elephants back to their natural habitats. The population is growing but the planet is still the same. We therefore need to work hard to ensure there is a balance between tourism activity and sustainability.
Lewa, laikipia, Samburu amboseli national park and the Maasai mara game reserve are areas where you can visit for such. The areas are located in remote Kenya regions which enables you to visit the local communities in addition to participating first hand. You can engage in rhino tracking, lion tracking, monitoring gravy zebra, tree planting, bird ringing or even mammal census at the Nairobi national park. The only park within a city in the world.
Combine a relaxed Kenya safari with a volunteer activity in a conservation effort. The diverse activities is reason enough for you to book your next safari to Kenya.
