Ecotourism Kenya and Wanderlust Diaries are collaboratively running a social media campaign dubbed The Conscious Traveller. The goal of the campaign is to create awareness of responsible travel best practices and to highlight best practices that travellers can take note of while in a destination or on a trip.
The awareness creation campaign is complemented with a monthly photography challenge set to run from 1st – 15th April 2022 at 12 A.M. The theme of this month’s challenge is Museums: Our Future In The Past. Supporting partners of this initiative are the National Museums of Kenya and Kenya Climate Change Innovation Centre.
