The tourism sector in Kenya is heavily reliant on wildlife conservation; recent estimates suggest that 25% of Kenya’s GDP is solely reliant on tourism. A number of properties and destinations within Kenya are heavily involved in conservation efforts which are reliant on tourism dollars which directly fund these conservation projects. 

At Bush and Beyond we believe in supporting those properties that have strong conservation ethics and work for the benefit of the wildlife, the area and the communities that live there.
