Ecotourism in Kenya
Way before the terms ecotourism became selling tags for safaris, Ontdek Kenya, the leader of truly nature themed safaris in Kenya, was out there in the field showing clients that there is a different and a better way of traveling in Kenya. A way that is kinder to the environment and to the communities that are the custodians of the natural resources and is profitable to the business owner. Go directly to our itineraries.
At our foundation in ’96 we went the ecotourism way because on personal levels it is our style of living and 13 years down the line, we are still designing and delivering eco friendly tours. This simple belief has kept us on the narrow path of genuine eco-safaris: that if we wouldn't book it for ourselves - we don't sell it. We would be delighted if you considered taking your eco-safari in Kenya with us. See our ecotourism approach.
Kindly review our itineraries below, which have been carefully researched, tested and fine tuned by feedback from eco travelers for over 13 years. Our tours cater for wider interests than just wildlife viewing and the tours are guided by a specialized naturalist guide who stays with the clients throughout the safari. This quick test has helped many eco travelers in deciding if Ontdek connects with their ecotourism principles. Kindly do a run to see if we make a fit for your eco-safari in Kenya. 7 Days Eco-Safari in Kenya's Rift Valley A quality eco safari with lots of game and bird walks in areas that are not visited by mass tourism.
