Embark on an unforgettable 12-day philanthropic journey through the heart of Africa. Explore the capital of Nairobi—the “green city in the sun”—and the diverse conservation experiences on offer, including adopting an elephant and hand-feeding giraffes. Tread across vast plains at Chyulu Hills National Park accompanied by a Maasai warrior, and learn the traditional Maasai way of life. Cherish the sanctuary at Ol Pejeta and Lewa Downs conservancy and delve into initiatives by the Africa Foundation and andBeyond, grounded in community participation and driven by local leadership.
Good to know: Vegetarianism is almost unheard of here, mobile banking is the way to go, and Kenyans like to dress up, so make an effort!
