Trip Snapshot

This fascinating 8-day cultural and wildlife tour will appeal to anyone that wants to both meet and help Kenyan people in grassroots social enterprises, and go on a safari in a sustainable way at a conservancy where wildlife flourishes and communities thrive. The first 4 days of this tour takes you to a wonderfully scenic conservancy on the Laikipia Plateau to the north of Mount Kenya, which is dedicated to wildlife conservation while working alongside and supporting the local Samburu and Maasai people. It offers an authentic safari experience for all guests from multi-generational families to older couples and activities can be as easy or energetic as you like. You can simply relax at camp and watch the animals grazing on the vast plains below, or explore the remote and beautiful Karisia Hills on leisurely walks and camel rides, and take game drives along the Ewaso Ng'iro River. Samburu and Maasai guides teach you about the wildlife, environment and the local cultures of Northern Kenya. Once back in Nairobi after your safari, travellers will have the special privilege of meeting three different communities over three days, working with Kenyans in overcoming poverty in sustainable projects. We take you to a community of grandmothers starting small businesses to give their families a future; a women’s vocational and lifestyle training centre where young mothers learn to become entrepreneurs; and a Maasai village to experience the traditional ways of life and understand the complexities of how they live in the increasingly modern world. These amazing and resourceful Kenyans who devote themselves to the betterment of their communities will inspire you, and show you day-to-day Kenyan culture on a personal level that few other travellers have seen.
