Those venturing to Africa to go on a Kenya safari are very likely to choose places that are well known to wider public. Typically, these are vast parks, but the number of visitors can sometimes make you feel that they are smaller than they actually are. For a great experience you should consider a conservancy. Usually, these are smaller spaces, privately ran and with different preservation programs as a part of their work. By pursuing this option, you can both enjoy the visit and experience, and help the effort to protect animal population.
