I recently had the chance to travel with Abana Safaris to Nairobi National Park, and I can't even begin to express how interesting the experience was. I was quite fortunate to see lions and rhinos, two of my favorite animals. Excellent driver Mr. Paul showed me a lot about the wild.
I want to salute them for their commitment to environmental conservation. They emphasized the need for responsible travel, and I even received a reusable water bottle that I now plan to use whenever I'm out of the house. It was also wonderful to see their dedication to sustainability, which will let the next generations enjoy the park's breathtaking natural beauty.
I really felt my time at the park flew by but i will definitely be traveling a lot more with them
