WIldlife Projects
Great Grevy's Rally
In 2018 and 2020 we've joined this rally (within Laikipia County) and probably we will join every 2 years. It's fantastic!
Update: We were going to participate in 2022/2023 but it was cancelled due to the drought so we will be there next time !
Etosha mountain zebra photographs
This project asks visitors to Etosha NP to photograph mountain zebra to help conservation research. Ofcourse you will help them, won't you? We have! Read this facebook artikel.
Ruaha Carnivore Project
The mission of the Ruaha Carnivore Project (RCP) is to achieve successful human-carnivore coexistence by empowering local communities, and to develop effective strategies for long-term carnivore conservation.
In 2018 we helped with transporting camera-equipment to the research in Ruaha.

Libraries / info
Birds of the World
The successor of HBW Alive. We are supporting them for a few years now. If you are a "birder" you simple must subscribe. There's lot of information (also for identification) about ALL the birds in the world!
Macaulay Library
The Macaulay Library is the world’s premier scientific archive of natural history audio, video, and photographs. Although the Macaulay Library’s history is rooted in birds, the collection includes amphibians, fishes, and mammals, and the collection preserves recordings of each species’ behavior and natural history.
IUCN Red List
We (most of the times) use the species and subspecies as accepted by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Here you have a direct link to the IUCN Red list (endangered species).
iNaturalist
Get connected with a community of over a million scientists and naturalists who can help you learn more about nature! What’s more, by recording and sharing your observations, you’ll create research quality data for scientists working to better understand and protect nature. You can go directly to our observations by clicking here.
Camps / travel companies
Laikipia WIlderness Camp
This isn't the place to advertise a lodge but one exception is allowed. Laikipia Wilderness Camp is our absolute favorite lodge in Kenya! Beautiful nature, great diversity of animals, complemented by delicious food, nice accommodation and really professional staff.
Kazuri Safaris
Our first trips to East-Africa were organized by (or with the help of) Kazuri Safaris. It's fantastic how perfectly everything is organized. Flexible (more than enough input about where you want to go) and very affordable. New to safaris? Ask Kazuri Safaris for help!
