About this episode

This episode features an interview with Mikey Carr Hartley about The Safari Collection and its conservation efforts in Kenya.

On this episode we're headed back to Kenya to chat with Mikey Carr Hartley, owner of The Safari Collection, which includes the Instagram famous Giraffe Manor. While you've undoubtedly seen beautiful images of the giraffes visiting guests at breakfast time, I want to be clear that The Safari Collection and its focus on conservation runs so much deeper than a photo op. Those friendly giraffe are part of a wider conservation movement and Mikey's other lodges like Sala's Camp and Sasaab are in equally beautiful settings dotted across the Kenyan landscape. We go in depth to chat about the different regions of this fascinating country, the warmth and hospitality of the people, and even dive into some of the details of pangolin conservation.
