  • Kenya Safari Press Release

    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

    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

    Kenyan Birding & Animal Safari Organized by Detroit Audubon and Silent Fliers of Kenya July 8th to July 23rd, 2019 Kenya is a global biodiversity “hotspot”; however, it is not only famous for extraordinary viewing of charismatic megafauna (like elephants, lions, rhinos, hippos, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, etc.), but it is also world-renowned as a bird watcher’s paradise. Located in the Rift Valley of East Africa, Kenya hosts 1054 species of birds--60% of the entire African birdlife--which are distributed in the most varied of habitats, ranging from tropical savannah and dry volcanic- shaped valleys to freshwater and brackish lakes to montane and rain forests. When added to the amazing bird life, the beauty of the volcanic and lava- sculpted landscapes in combination with the incredible concentration of iconic megafauna, the experience is truly breathtaking--that the Africa of movies (“Out of Africa”), books (“Born Free”) and documentaries (“For the Love of Elephants”) is right here in East Africa’s Great Rift Valley with its unparalleled diversity of iconic wildlife and equatorially-located ecosystems. Kenya is truly the destination of choice for the birdwatcher and naturalist. Karibu (“Welcome to”) Kenya! 1 Itinerary: Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi. Our guide will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. Overnight stay in Nairobi. Day 2: After an early breakfast, we will embark on a full day exploration of Nairobi National Park--Kenya’s first National Park. This “urban park,” located adjacent to one of Africa’s most populous cities, allows for the possibility of seeing the following species of birds; Olivaceous and Willow Warbler, African Water Rail, Wood Sandpiper, Great Egret, Red-backed and Lesser Grey Shrike, Rosy-breasted and Pangani Longclaw, Yellow-crowned Bishop, Jackson’s Widowbird, Saddle-billed Stork, Cardinal Quelea, Black-crowned Night- heron, Martial Eagle and several species of Cisticolas, in addition to many other unique species.

The reduction in lion numbers in Kenya is primarily due to habitat loss and conflict with humans, typically when lions kill people’s livestock. More recent threats now include the development of large scale infrastructure projects, and climate change leading to loss of prey. Lions and other large carnivores are wide-ranging species and designated protected areas are often not large enough to ensure their long-term survival. Therefore, it is crucial that conservation of these species, as well as their prey, is addressed throughout the landscape, which not only incorporates protected areas but also the surrounding areas where local people live.
