Cottar’s Safaris in Kenya has launched a hands-on conservation experience for families, who can help protect local wildlife. 

Children can learn more about conservation efforts with the new family experience

The new four-night Budding Conservationist family experience invites parents and children to join female conservation rangers on their daily patrolling, de-snaring and game counting. Cottar’s Safaris is located in the private Olderkesi Conservancy, which borders the Maasai Mara. 

They will also have the chance to visit and identify vulture nests. In 30 years, more than half the vulture population of the Maasai Mara has been decimated, and seven out of Africa’s 11 vulture species are on the brink of extinction.
