Inside a Daring Giraffe Rescue in Kenya

from Travel Tales by Afar Hosted by Afar

A decade ago, a group of endangered Rothschild’s giraffes was relocated to a remote lakeside peninsula in Kenya. But in recent years, due to rising water levels, the peninsula became an island, trapping the giraffes. In 2020, a team of conservationists set up a daring rescue—one that wildlife photographer Ami Vitale traveled to document. This is her tale. Explore Ami's work (and her new nonprofit) at amivitale.com.
