The recent floods in the Mara were a stark reminder of the climate change challenges facing Kenya, but the Mara’s vibrant spirit and resilience remain undimmed, ready to welcome you. At AirKenya, our commitment extends beyond connecting travellers to Kenya’s iconic destinations. We’re actively involved in preserving the natural beauty that makes this country so special. Our team’s recent efforts in planting trees at Thogoto Forest contribute directly to Kenya’s ambitious goal of achieving 32% tree cover by 2032. We believe in taking real action to mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure that future generations can experience the wonders of Kenya’s landscapes.
