These…
Francis is one of our newest members of the African Environments team, and boy are we glad he’s with us! Francis was born in a small town on the edge of the Serengeti, so who better than to be guided by someone who knows the area so well! When Francis was at school, his dream was to be a…

We set off in our open safari car on a drizzly Saturday morning, wrapped up warm…
It’s not very often these days that you get to explore some total wilderness outside of a National Park so we got pretty excited when we heard that Darakuta, a large cattle ranch in the Rift Valley had become a conservation area. Not quite sure what to expect we headed down for the weekend to get a feel for…
