Rebecca Miano, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Director General Dr. Erustus Kanga, and Magical Kenya CEO June Chepkemei, engaged in discussions on the importance of sustainable tourism and wildlife conservation during their recent visit to the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

They highlighted the importance of maintaining the delicate balance between tourism and wildlife conservation to protect these vital ecosystems.
