  • Kenya Safari Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 31, 2019 Explore the Wild with Audubon Nature Institute: Kenya’s “Kingdom of Lions” and the Giraffe of Samburu National Reserve (New Orleans, La.) – Join Audubon Nature Institute on the adventure of a lifetime to experience nature at its wildest in Kenya. From June 6 to June 16, 2020, explore the wild and see firsthand the important role that conservation programs have in Kenyan communities. Visit exotic destinations, observe wildlife in their native habitats, and experience local cultures. Local wildlife naturalists and an Audubon Nature Institute expert will guide travelers on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A portion of travel dollars will directly support Audubon’s worldwide conservation efforts saving lion and giraffe populations. Attendees will travel to Kenya — including Nairobi, Samburu Reserve, Mount Kenya, Lake Nakuru National Park, and the Maasai Mara — on this safari adventure. Audubon Nature Institute is committed to protecting and preserving wildlife around the globe for future generations. For each guest traveling with Audubon, $50 will be donated to the Reticulated Giraffe Project. “The threats that giraffe are facing have caused their wild populations to drop by 40% in recent years,” said Audubon Zoo General Curator Joel Hamilton. “An African safari would not be the same without seeing giraffe. The chance to visit Samburu and Maasai Mara to see the results of giraffe conservation efforts first-hand is an opportunity of a lifetime.” There will be a travel night, complimentary and open to the public, at Audubon Zoo in Nims Meeting Room during the upcoming Associations of Zoos and Aquariums and International Marine Animal Trainer’s Association Annual Conference on September 12, 2019 to answer questions about the program.

  • Kenya – Samburu to Masai Mara
    Kenya – Samburu to Masai Mara Trip Summary When you picture Africa in your mind, you’re probably imagining Kenya. Wide open savannahs, the horizon clouded with dust kicked up from migrating wildebeest, or giraffes stretching their necks for the freshest acacia leaves. Even Kenya’s tribes like Samburu, Masai, and Swahili are the names that have come to represent the continent in popular culture. The Samburu to Masai Mara adventure brings Africa’s wildlife, landscape, and cultures together into an eight-day package that will both get you out into the waving grasses of the savannah, as well as face-to-face with the incredible people who call this landscape home. Track the “Special five of Samburu”: Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy’s Zebra, Somali Ostrich, Gerunuk and the Beisa Oryx. Sit down with the Masai and learn first-hand their culture and traditions. See the herds of wildebeest and hear the roar of the lions in a whole new way, from the basket of a hot air balloon. After visiting Kenya, Africa will no longer reside in your imagination, but as a vivid memory. Itinerary Day 1: Nairobi Arrival Jambo – Karibu!! • Arrive at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport • You’ll be met by your hosts eagerly awaiting to greet you in African style – with wet towels and champagne sipped out of traditional African gourds • Transfer to your hotel in Mount Kenya National Park and rest up for the days to come • Overnight at Serena Mountain Lodge (No meals) Day 2: Samburu Game Reserve After breakfast transfer to Samburu Game Reserve in the northern region
