How do I know it’s ethical?
A safari should feature wild animals. Any safari that can guarantee wildlife spotting or utilizing food to get the animals to a certain location makes the encounter unethical. Safaris should be guided by a local who knows the terrain, animal behavior, and environmental impact.
Description of the Experience
Kenya is home to some of the most diverse landscapes on Earth. It’s home to thousands of species of animals. These animals traverse grasslands, serengeti, forests, and swamps in search of food. Seeing the animals in action is almost too good to be true.
The most impressive time to visit is during The Great Migration. The migration is comprised of millions of wildebeest, zebra, and antelopes following the rain to get food. Optimal wildlife spotting time in Kenya is between July and September. You’ll find plenty of herbivores grazing, but fingers crossed you’ll find some baby predators too! The lion cubs pictured below were born right before the Migration started and their mom was following the herds.
If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to spot the big 5 safari animals in Kenya!
