WHAT TYPES OF ECOTOURISM ARE AVAILABLE IN KENYA?
Ecotourism is a fast growing market sector in Kenya, with a growing number of responsible lodges in and around the main parks and reserves, together with increasing local ownership of ecolodges on community owned land. As well as game viewing in private and community owned sanctuaries, a number of conservation-minded communities are establishing innovative new tourist attractions on their land. Several far-sighted tourism companies have also joined the ecotourism boom, creating packages that are specially designed to help local communities and to offer attractions beyond the standard ‘beach-and-bush’ fare. Many lodges and camps are also breaking new ground in sharing their benefits with their local community neighbours.
