"When guests come, we have hope that these magnificent creatures won't die out": Inside the new breed of safari camps taking conservation seriously
Briefly

Kenya, synonymous with the safari experience, is witnessing a troubling decline in its wildlife due to factors like poaching and rapid population growth. The country's ban on hunting since 1977 hasn't halted this trend, as overpopulation is leading to competition for resources between livestock and wildlife. However, recent developments, such as pioneering camps like Angama Amboseli, are fostering wildlife preservation by providing unique tourism experiences. These initiatives aim to balance conservation with sustainable tourism, giving hope for a rebound in wildlife populations in this iconic region.
The emergence of pioneering camps and lodges in Kenya is revitalizing wildlife preservation efforts, making these experiences more accessible to a new generation of travelers.
Despite its historical status as a safari country, Kenya's wildlife faces unprecedented challenges due to population growth and habitat competition, creating a crucial need for innovative conservation strategies.
