What comes to mind on the random mention of road trip or wildlife or safari? Probably loads of fun, camping, national park, wildlife, culture, food or people? In most national parks, the picture painted is that of tonnes of wildlife leisurely patrolling the vast acres of open grasslands, shrub lands and densely forested areas of Kenya’s protected areas.

Anyone up for a day trip? Buckle up, come let’s cruise it down the KWS way!
