Quand un hôtel à 3000 euros la nuit crée la controverse

Il y a quelque temps, j'ai découvert l'existence de ce camp ultra luxueux au Kenya. Ici, la nuit coûte plus de 3000 € et on promet le voyage d'une vie. Mais si j'en ai entendu parler, c'est surtout parce que certains veulent sa fermeture immédiate. Car il menacerait en fait l'un des phénomènes les plus massifs et majestueux du monde animal.
