Looking for an Adventure?!

Hello Adventurer Seekers!!

Join me on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to KENYA with Action for Cheetahs in Kenya!!

The time is finally here!! We're heading to Kenya in November for an Adventure Safari with Action for Cheetahs in Kenya! This is a conservation-based trip, designed for wildlife professionals and enthusiasts. It has the perfect mix of staying at beautiful safari camps, learning all about the wildlife and conservation efforts throughout Kenya, and also getting your hands dirty, working directly with the local Samburu tribe to aid in cheetah conservation. Our partnership with RAW Africa Eco-Tours designs and delivers conservation-focused travel experiences that go above and beyond traditional safaris. 

Our journeys are structured to connect travelers with wildlife, landscapes, and the communities who share these ecosystems - building a deeper understanding of conservation and the systems that sustain it. 

Dates of this group trip are 6-18 November 2026 with the option of an extension from 2-6 November 2026. 

(typically requiring travel from the US 1+ day before and after). International flights are not included and should be booked to and from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO).
