Kenya tribes & wildlife holiday

On this trip we take account of the striking difference in cultures and customs of the communities we visit. We appreciate them because they are important to our quest to conserve these delicate cultures, lifestyles and environments. Our staff and host communities are core to our activities. We use professional staff and local guides who offer valuable knowledge of areas' rich attractions. The use of local communities are not only to provide service, but for them to benefit directly and feel part and parcel of our responsible tourism activities in these areas far off the tourist circuits. We utilise fresh produce from the areas we visit for our cooking, and we encourage clients to buy indigenous products from villages in order to lift their living standards.

We also use community owned campsites and contribute towards local projects such as; Narasha primary and a water project (in Masai community), Kutete primary (in Kalenjin community), Amalo River Water Users Association (promoting wise use of Mara river waters and conservation of Mau Complex, water catchment in the area), Tuiyobei Athletic Club(youth welfare club) and a public library (our own initiative to lift the level of literacy in the region), all far from the main tourist destination. Our contact person, Philiph Koech, who organises our stay, was born and raised here.

In Mt. Kenya we take you to sample the unique Kikuyu customs. You get an opportunity to interact with Kikuyu people. The visit benefits a training centre which teaches farmers about organic farming. The project has improved the livelihood of the inhabitants through production of increased yields due to new modern farming technologies employed.
