7 days · Fly-in, road at each destination · Nairobi, Ol Pejeta, Masai Mara
Conservation journey · big cats
Lions, leopards and cheetahs through the eyes of the people who protect them. Track collared cats with researchers, ride along with the mobile vet unit that treats injured wildlife, and learn how communities and predators share the land.
The signature moment: The beep of a tracking collar growing louder, then the first glimpse of a lioness in the Mara grass.
