“Bringing people to Kenya on safari is amazing because of the links between the local communities and the wildlife. The combination of wildlife, communities and travellers who want to see the real thing is a great combination for tourism and conservation. My favourite part of Kenya is my home, Il Ngwesi in northern Kenya.”
