Experiencing Kenya on an Ethical Safari with Sarika Bansal
Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve is a treasure trove of safari fantasies: wildebeests migrating across savannahs, lions prowling plains, and colorful indigenous villages. But behind these African daydreams lurk various ethical realities to unpack. Fortunately, Sarika Bansal, editorial director of Afar Magazine and editor of "Tread Brightly: Notes on Ethical Travel," is here to help. Based in Kenya, Sarika sheds light on how to explore her adopted country in ways that protect wildlife, respect local people, and strengthen communities so we can all tread more brightly. #ricksteves #mondaynighttravel
