NOTE:
The world needs trees more than ever. At Royal Private Safaris we introduce you on how to plant some on your travels. For every guest who travels with our company in Kenya, we plant a tree in his or her name. Since 2015, we have planted roughly 5,000 trees and counting. Though small, these reforestation efforts can raise awareness of the need to increase tree cover to reduce carbon emissions, and have the potential to make tangible, sustained impact.
