The Best Places to Visit in Kenya by Influencers

Samburu hills. A classic African landscape, with a view of the hills in Samburu National Park, taken from Lewa Conservancy. There is a somewhat flat-topped hill to the left of the two peaks, barely visible in the haze, which is sacred to the Samburu people. In the valley below, we spotted white rhinos, elephants and buffalo.

About this picture:

Elephants and rhinos can do a lot of damage to trees, sometimes even killing them. This acacia tree in Lewa Conservancy has a bonsai look to it due to animal damage.
