In the rugged,
drought-prone landscapes of Northern Kenya, singing has become an unusual tool
for nurturing orphaned elephants at the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, where
traditional Samburu songs help strengthen the bond between keepers and the
animals.
The sanctuary’s
community-led conservation model comes as the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) targets
the untapped potential of the Northern Kenya tourism circuit to boost domestic
travel and promote lesser-known destinations.
Through its Hapa
Ni Wapi Sales Conversion Campaign, KTB is bringing together tour operators,
county governments and tourism partners to develop ready-to-book travel
packages as it targets 5.6 million bed nights by 2027.
