Being a private ranch all of the Taita/Rukinga Wildlife Conservancy is off the beaten path which meant that whatever wildlife we found, we had it all for ourselves, unlike in the big parks where a whole convoy of cars will congregate around one animal. Even though they don't seem to be too bothered most of the time I always feel rather intrusive, and it reminds me too much of a zoo. So while we saw less wildlife and had fewer photo opportunities than you would have in the National Parks, I found it more of challenge to find animals, and more rewarding when we did spot something unusual.
