Special moments with these two boys in Selenkay Conservancy in Kenya in October. Creating memories to last a lifetime ππ π°πͺ
Limited places left on my June 2025 small group departure, come and join us and experience scenes like this - with no other vehicles around!
What a thrill to see this big boy on our Kenya safari last month. Umoja is a Big Tusker, a bull elephant with tusks that weigh over 100lbs (45kgs) each. There are estimated to be just 25 of them left in the world. While some of these big boys roam in Kenya's Amboseli National Park and across the border to neighbouring Tanzania, Umoja prefers a peaceful life in a private conservancy. π₯°πππ
Our visit to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in northern Kenya to meet our adopted babies is always a highlight. Triciaβs baby Ngaremara always leads the race to the milk bottles, and today was no exception π₯°

#1 reason we love Kenya's private conservancies - being able to watch scenes like this with no other vehicles around! π π¦ π«Ά πΎ
In a national park these lionesses with their very cute cubs would be surrounded by dozens of vehicles all jostling to get the best view for their clients - and disrupting natural animal behaviour π’

Amboseli never fails to deliver! Mt Kilimanjaro's melting snow provides a constant source of water that attracts a profusion of wildlife. Elephants are the star of the show here, casually strolling past our open safari vehicle on their way to the swamp to cool off and drink.
Did you know...? Elephants drink 100-200 litres of water a day. πππππ
Meet Baraka, a very special black rhino at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. Barakaβs life took a challenging turn when he lost his right eye during a territorial battle with another bull. Later, he developed a cataract in his left eye, leaving him completely blind. Surviving in the wild became impossible for him.
But Barakaβs story didnβt end there. Under the care and protection of the wildlife rangers at Ol Pejeta, he was given a second chance, and today Baraka has an important role as Ol Pejetaβs black-rhino ambassador. His incredible story not only sheds light on the ongoing threats of poaching and habitat loss, but also serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience of wildlife and the power of conservation.
A hands-on visit with Baraka is a highlight on my Kenya safaris. He loves a nice scratch behind the ear, as Julia discovered when we visited him in June.
Visiting Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in remote northern Kenya and meeting our foster babies is always a highlight. Come and experience it for yourself in June 2025!
