Conservation in Action
Journeys With Purpose in Partnership with
San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance
As the world’s second-largest conservation organisation, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance brings decades of leadership in global conservation. Its integrated approach uniting wildlife healthcare, field science, and education, plays a pivotal role in protecting endangered species and restoring some of the planet’s most fragile ecosystems.
Guided by our approach to intentional travel, Journeys With Purpose has curated a distinctive journey that offers rare, hands-on access to SDZWA’s conservation initiatives. Guests are invited to walk alongside expert practitioners in the field, gaining an authentic, on-the-ground understanding of what it truly means to advance conservation at scale.
A CONSERVATION LEGACY
Join us for an extraordinary ten-day journey through East Africa’s most iconic landscapes and pioneering conservation efforts, for meaningful encounter with Kenya’s land stewards, wildlife biologists, and the vital ecosystems they protect.
Through curated hosted dinners, private field visits, and unrivalled wilderness experiences, you will see the tangible impact of SDZWA’s work in action. You will be hosted by resident biologist and Associate Director of Conservation Science, Kirstie Ruppert, who has a deep knowledge of Kenya, and be part of a small group of assionate, discerning and impact-minded explorers. This journey is an exploration of Kenya like no other, combining access, knowledge and connection at a grassroot level.
