KENYA
African Elephants
Go beyond the typical safari experience , observing Kenya ’ s iconic wildlife through the eyes of the conservationists dedicated to protecting it . Spend time in three spectacular reserves , embarking on game drives and visiting field stations where National Geographic-supported researchers are working to save species in danger , from rhinos and giraffes to the legendary big cats .
Gaze at the elephants of Amboseli in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro and track rare species like African wild dogs and white and black rhinos through the thriving Lewa Wildlife Conservancy . In the legendary Maasai Mara , observe herds of zebras and wildebeests — and the fierce predators that hunt them . Along the way , meet wildlife biologists and conservationists who are finding creative solutions to the poaching and habitat loss that threaten East Africa ’ s incredible biodiversity .
