Sustainable and eco-friendly Kenya

Kenya is the perfect destination for travellers who want to reconnect to nature, experience unique adventures and spend time away from bustling, clamorous and polluted cities. Safari lodges in Kenya offer exploration of pristine and protected wilderness, such as the Maasai Mara National Reserve and Amboseli National Park. These areas are protected by conservation efforts and offer some of the highest game density populations in East Africa, as well as encompassing diverse landscapes from luscious grasslands, to shallow streams, and fantastic views of Kenya’s highest mountain, Mount Kenya.

Africa as a continent can be classed as a beacon of light for sustainable/eco-friendly practises and Kenya especially was part of the Voluntary National Review for 2020 with the United Nations. Their long term vision is “to achieve accelerated, high, inclusive, broad based, sustainable economic growth, social economic transformation and development”, in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Actions such as a national awareness initiative is being rolled out through the use of the governments social media to spread their goals in relation to sustainable practises. This is paired with policies and strategies focusing on; “education, health, employment, social protection, financial inclusion, gender, agricultural productivity, special funds for youth, women and persons with disabilities”.

Throughout Kenya, especially within the numerous and expansive national parks, accommodation owners have set up private reserves and pursued extensive conservation efforts to maintain and protect levels of the indigenous wildlife. The “big 5” and more species of animal, draw tourists worldwide to Kenya, which creates a unique selling point for the country. Coupled with the unique accommodation detailed above makes Kenya a destination deserving of being on everyone’s list for 2022.
