I am a wildlife biologist and professor who has lived and worked with the local Samburu tribe for over 18 years. The guides are experienced professionals who have led hundreds of participants on adventures, including children with parents, and who personally know the caretakers at the elephant center. They have been trained in wildlife care and conservation with some of the world's best professionals and are sponsored by Prince William's Tusk Trust. You will be observing the elephants at a respectful distance with the guidance of their caretakers and guards. Guest to Guide ratio: 4-1.
