Kenya's Great Migration: Wildlife and Conservation on Photo Safari


Kenya | Great Migration: Wildlife and Conservation on Photo Safari

with Jennifer Leigh Warner

July 21, 2023 - August 4, 2023

About this trip

Astride the equator in East Africa, Kenya is home to a host of natural wonders. Join Jennifer Leigh Warner on this 15-day expedition to go up close with the wildlife for which Kenya is famous, and gain a deeper understanding of its conservation story — past, present, and future. Explore the unique features of the Great Rift Valley while seeking out iconic safari species on game drives and nature walks and enjoying an unforgettable stay in an eco-friendly tented camp. Learn about initiatives to protect and rehabilitate endangered elephant and rhino populations, and even witness an elephant feeding. Your journey is bookended with experiences at the Maasai Mara Reserve, where you will get to photograph and learn about fascinating wildlife on several world-class safaris, as well as enjoy cultural interactions with local Maasai communities that illuminate how land and people intertwine.

In support of conservation efforts, Jennifer Leigh Warner will be donating a portion of the proceeds from this program to Action for Cheetahs in Kenya.
