Namunyak Wildlife Conservation Trust
About
Vast sanctuary for big cats, elephants & zebras, plus cultural visits to a Samburu tribal village.
This community-based sanctuary in Samburu is home to @r.e.s.c.u.e, Kenya's first community-run wildlife rescue center — go for that alone. The sunset and spring pool are lovely, and the staff are experienced and friendly, though it gets "crispy hot" at lower latitudes.
