African Safaris
Kenya’s Great Migration is one of the most photogenic events on the planet. The migration includes vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and elephants, as well as lions and leopards hunting their prey. Spectacular bird life is everywhere, from the vibrant colors of the lilac-breasted roller to the delicate head feathers of the crowned crane.

Globally, there are seven species of sea turtles, nearly all of which are endangered and five of which are supported by World Wildlife Fund conservation efforts, including green, hawksbill, loggerhead, leatherback and olive ridley species.
