It’s time to plan your next adventure! IEF has partnered with Classic Escapes to create a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Kenya and visit three of IEF’s incredible projects!

We will visit Tsavo Trust and visit their base of operations where they conduct aerial surveillance for some of the world’s last Big Tuskers. If you know IEF’s Sponsor An Elephant program, this is where those Iconic Cows, Big Tuskers, and Emerging Tuskers call home.

You will also get to see the gold standard of community projects, Northern Rangelands Trust that IEF has supported for well over a decade. You will have incredible opportunities to meet the rangers who put their lives on the line for wildlife.

We will also visit the Mount Kenya Trust, home to the Mounted Horse Patrol Team that protects the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mount Kenya. This special access will allow you to meet some of the patrol horses (and maybe even ride them on a mini-patrol)!

No other trip will give you this kind of access to see conservation in action, while also seeing the iconic wildlife and nature that Kenya has to offer! Space is limited so secure your spot now! We have other incredible things in store, so please contact us at jbates@elephantconservation.org if you are interested in going!

We were full of excitement as we started off in the Land Cruiser to the spot where the lions had last been sighted.

As we drove out of camp, coming straight at us was a bull elephant who clearly had decided the road was his and his alone… read the rest of Episode 4
