      <image:caption>And there is something for everyone, including families with children. Bethany took her two children on an amazing trip with Pick A Safari. She says "My kids and I saw the Big Five animals, ate delicious food, met the Maasai, and saw a bunch of Kenya you might not see in a safari bubble. The culture is beautiful, vibrant, and mind-expanding. There were animals to see everywhere whether inside the safari or not. I highly recommend Pick A Safari. They are wonderful trip organizers and will treat you like family."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The variety of experiences in a Pick A Safari journey was expanded on by Bea, who noted "The safari portion of the trip was an absolute dream. We encountered a variety of wildlife, including rhinos, buffalo, and zebras, against the backdrop of the beautiful Rift Valley....After the thrilling safari, Diani Beach provided the perfect relaxation spot. The white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and swaying palm trees were straight out of a postcard. The peaceful ambiance was a perfect contrast to the adventure-filled days in the Mara." She goes on to say, "I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore the diverse beauty of Kenya and I highly recommend Pick A Safari."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Let's not forget the solo sojourner experience. Alison was already an experienced traveler, but she still found her time in Kenya magnificent. "How do I find the words to describe the experience of a lifetime? My journey with Pick A Safari was wonderful, and Faith (owner) is an amazingly hospitable host." Alison raves about the accommodations and itinerary. She loved her time in Africa, and wants to return one day. It's not just adventure and exploration when you take a trip with Pick A Safari.

      <image:caption>Amy, another participant in a Pick A Safari trip said "I would recommend them to anyone looking to create beautiful family memories." She noted that when the airline canceled her family's flight home, Pick A Safari's CEO and her team ensured they were rebooked and took care of them during the delay. "What would have been stressful turned out to be easy and more fun because she reworked to itinerary maximize our extra time." The personal touch is why people love these safaris — they are cared for throughout the experience, and it shows.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Leopards are elusive, solitary, and predominantly nocturnal. Known for their stunning, spotted coat and ability to blend seamlessly into their surroundings, leopards are expert hunters who often stash their prey high in trees to avoid scavengers. These elusive cats rely on stealth and patience, making them one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, animals to spot on safari.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cape buffaloes, known for their tough and resilient nature, are surprisingly social animals. They often travel in herds and have a reputation for being unpredictable, which is why they are sometimes called "the Black Death" in safari circles. While buffaloes may not appear as majestic as the other Big Five animals, they are equally fascinating and form an essential part of Kenya’s ecosystem by controlling plant growth, dispersing seeds, and enriching the soil with their nutrient-rich dung.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Both black and white rhinos inhabit Kenya, but they are endangered due to poaching and habitat loss. These powerful creatures are known for their horned snouts and thick skin, which offers some protection against predators, but sadly not against poaching. Conservation initiatives in Kenya, such as anti-poaching units and protective reserves, have become essential to ensure the survival of these animals.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The lion, often called the 'King of the Savannah,' is one of the most sought-after sightings on a Kenya Big Five safari. Known for their majestic manes and powerful builds, lions are also famous for their complex social structures. These highly social animals live in prides consisting of multiple females and their cubs, led by a dominant male or a coalition of males.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>African elephants are not only the largest land animals on Earth, but they’re also highly intelligent and social creatures. Elephants travel in tight-knit family groups led by a matriarch and are known for their impressive memory and complex communication skills. Tragically, elephants continue to be threatened by poaching and habitat fragmentation, but conservationists, like David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, in Kenya are working tirelessly to protect them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts — Pick A Safari - Safari of the Senses Retreat: A Journey Through Sight, Sound, Taste, Touch, and Smell - Giraffe Manor: Your First Destination</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your stay in Kenya begins at Giraffe Manor, built in 1932 to resemble a Scottish hunting lodge and now well established as a boutique hotel. Located on 115 acres stretching to Nairobi’s southern border along the Mbagathi River, this estate has been a sanctuary for endangered Rothschild’s giraffes since the 1970s. Its then-owners, Betty and Jock Leslie-Melville, relocated these gentle giants to provide them with a safe habitat and began a tradition of conservation that continues to this day. Here, giraffes freely wander the estate—and may even join you at your breakfast. These lovely, quiet animals are safe and content here in their beautiful sanctuary. To learn more about Giraffe Manor’s history, read Raising Daisy Rothschild by Betty Leslie-Melville, which chronicles the story of baby Daisy, the first giraffe adopted by the estate. (This book also inspired the film The Last Giraffe.) Today, Daisy IV, born in August 2009, continues the legacy. Photo credit: The Safari Collection</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts — Pick A Safari - Why Kenya Should Be Your Next Destination: Culture, Cuisine, and Connection</image:title>
      <image:caption>As with most other aspects of its culture, there is a great deal of diversity in how Kenyans dress. Traditional clothing in Kenya often carries much significance; it can indicate a person's age, marital status, gender, and community or tribe. There are unique textiles, intricate beadwork, and amazing ornamentation. Specific clothing may also be worn to indicate wealth or leadership. An example of traditional clothing is the dress of the Moran, warriors of the Maasai, who wear red to symbolize courage and strength and to scare off predators such as lions before they come close to the cattle on which the Maasai rely.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts — Pick A Safari - Why Kenya Should Be Your Next Destination: Culture, Cuisine, and Connection</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most Kenyans rely on plain, filling meals. Breakfast always includes delicious Chai tea, paired with boiled sweet potatoes or yams, matoke (boiled or otherwise cooked green bananas), or boiled organic eggs. A more indulgent morning meal might include mandazi, somewhat like an unsweetened doughnut — a treat found more in cities like Nairobi and rarely served in Kenyan villages.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jenny’s dream wasn’t just a passion — it was her legacy, her gift to the world, to me, and to our son, Hayden. She saw Kenya not only as a beautiful landscape but as a place that could heal, inspire, and bring people together. Her wish was to create an experience that would bridge worlds, allowing people from all walks of life to connect with the African wilderness in ways that are meaningful and profound. And so, it is with heart and purpose, drawing from my childhood experiences in Kenya, that Pick A Safari began to take shape.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Catering to young explorers is a special part of our philosophy, designed to give children an educational, enriching experience. They get to learn about wildlife, ecosystems, and culture, often by visiting local schools and interacting with Kenyan children, fostering cross-cultural friendships and opening doors to lifelong learning. This approach turns safaris into a family adventure that is not only enjoyable but also transformational for everyone involved.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Moreover, sustainability is at the core of what we do. Our Kenya safari packages not only offer a glimpse into Africa’s awe-inspiring biodiversity but also promote the preservation of these natural habitats. By partnering with local conservation efforts such as David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Center, we help protect endangered species and conserve the landscapes that have been a part of Kenya’s story for centuries. Our goal is to make sure that each journey through Pick A Safari leaves a positive impact on the environment and communities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts — Pick A Safari - The Inception of Pick A Safari: Honoring a Dream and Sharing the Heart of Kenya - Jenny’s love for connection and experience was deeply rooted in her life story. She grew up in Santa Fe, where her parents founded the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, a community treasure that brought people together through music and creativity. Just as music connected people in her hometown, Jenny saw Kenya and the African wilderness as a way to connect people across cultures and experiences. Her vision was for a safari experience that would not only showcase the beauty of Africa but would also bring people closer together, creating lasting memories and a profound appreciation for nature.</image:title>
