Top 25 images from the first quarter of 2018

Our goal is to portray an experience that resembles the moment, as closely as we can. If you shared any of these moments with us, we hope they bring back some of the fondest memories. If you did not, then we hope they encourage you to investigate joining us on a safari soon!

Wherever you have ancient volcanic activity, a multitude of thriving habitats are formed, sustained by the geological forces themselves and the highly fertile volcanic soils. The length of the "rift valley" is dotted with crystal clear lakes teeming with magnificent
