Virtual Safari Overview

Elephant Rehabilitation

Our journey begins right at the heart of Nairobi – the capital city of Kenya. We visit Daphne Sheldrick world-famous rescue center for wild elephants and Rhino. Here we will meet the caretakers who are involved in looking after orphaned and rescued elephants. During our time together, we will start to understand the very social nature of elephants as well as the dangers they face every day and how measures are being put in place to ensure the largest land mammal lives on beyond our generation

Elephants in the Wild

On our quest for genuine and more intimate interaction with the animals in the wild, we will seek to acquire a deeper knowledge of the Elephant. We will therefore move south of the capital Nairobi to Amboseli National Park on the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. The Amboseli is world-renowned for its elephant population. Here we delve deeper into the social nature of the elephant in the wild. We will have an enlightening virtual segment on African Elephants. Where possible with coverage allowing, an interactive session will be held.

Samburu

The northern advance bring us to Samburu, home to unique wildlife species that have adapted to the semi-desert environment. Here, most species are somehow unique. From the reticulated girraffe to the Gravis zebra and once again expect an exploratory journey that will dazzle.

At Samburu we will  also meet with the Samburu people who have a rich and well preserved culture and heritage.  This people to people experience will be an opportunity to interact with the people and even participate in a traditional ceremony.  The Samburu are closely related to the more famous Maasai people but are a bit further withdrawn from the cities.  Because of their remote location, the Samburu experience remains even more authentic.
