A Must Do Experience in Nairobi

I first did 2 full day experiences with One Horizon 6 years ago on a visit to Kenya. Those experiences were so inspirational and such a privilege to listen to real people tell their amazing stories. I recently returned to Kenya with my daughter and stayed extra time so that I could return to the places I had visited and share the experience. The work Colin and One Horizon are doing is so inspirational helping people become self sufficient. I revisited Helen & Rosemary from the Granny Project and they are such strong women and their life stories need to be heard. We helped prepare lunch which we shared whilst listening to their stories. We then revisited Daniel and his family in his Massai village. It was like being welcomed home. The difference in those 6 years was amazing. The trees and shrubs had all grown, there were more huts, Daniel's son is now married with 2 children and could not believe it, they have flushing toilets. We sang and danced and listened to their very moving stories. If you are in Nairobi this is a must do experience. As I only had 1 day I did The Resilient Women of Kenya which combined the 2 experiences.

A Heart-Warming Day of Connection

We were made to feel incredibly welcome and shared lots of laughs playing games with the children during their break. What really stood out was how similar the curriculum is to what our own children are learning at school. It was powerful for the children on both sides to recognise how much they have in common. We each gained insights that truly enriched our view of the world. This experience will stay with me forever.

Our Sincere Gratitude

I am writing to express our sincere gratitude following our recent safari trip to Kenya. My husband and I had the pleasure of spending a day with one of your representatives, Solomon, who took us on an unforgettable visit to a Maasai Village. From the moment Solomon picked us up from the hotel, he was warm, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. He made us feel completely at ease and ensured that every part of the experience was thoughtful and personal. During our time at the village, we had the privilege of spending time with a local family who shared their life stories with us. One of the most touching moments was learning that thanks to the support they receive through One Horizon, they are now able to send their daughter to college. Hearing this first hand was incredibly moving and it added so much meaning to the entire experience. Solomon facilitated the day with great care, respect and insight. He also went above and beyond by organising a beautiful picnic for us and capturing some lovely pictures which we will always treasure. The visit was an absolute highlight of our trip and we will be recommending One Horizon to others without hesitation. Warmest Regards

One Horizon Was An Incredible Experience

We visited the One Horizon school in Nairobi and had such an incredible experience. The founder and his staff do such an amazing job improving the lives of local children. it was so nice to be a part of that experience and my family and I are so thankful for the time we were able to spend with the students and staff. The only hard part was saying goodbye. Thank you for a life changing experience.

A Life-Changing Experience for Families and Teens: One Horizon is Beyond a Tour Company

Traveling to Kenya with my two teenagers, I wanted more than a vacation. I hoped for something that would open their hearts and minds. One Horizon delivered far more than I could have imagined. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, we were met with warmth and personal care. The founder of One Horizon, greeted us himself and then continued to meet us at every single point of our journey. That kind of personal presence is rare. He and his team made us feel not like clients, but like welcomed guests in a shared mission. What makes One Horizon exceptional is their deep connection to the communities they support. We visited schools they run in Nairobi, where children receive large, nourishing meals. A simple thing, but life-changing for many families. We met grandmas who have been gifted pigs, an income-generating program that helps them feed and support their families with dignity and independence. These are not charity stops. They are real, human connections to programs that are thoughtfully built and clearly working. Our time with the Maasai (Mei) tribe was something my children and I will carry forever. We were invited into their homes and culture, and our teenage children were treated with such generosity and respect. The stories, traditions, and open-hearted welcome gave us insight into a way of life that is rich in wisdom. Our main guide Solomon, and our additional guide Mary, were outstanding. Knowledgeable, funny, and insightful. They shared personal stories that helped us understand Kenya not just as a destination, but as a place of deep resilience and beauty. We also had the privilege of traveling with a junior guide for part of our tour, who added even more dimension with their own cultural perspective. Everything from logistics to learning was handled with grace, professionalism, and kindness. The bus was comfortable and clean, our driver was consistently on time and attentive, and the experience never felt rushed or transactional. As a parent, watching my teenagers engage with real issues—poverty, culture, sustainability—and walk away not with pity, but with respect and inspiration is the greatest gift this trip could have given. If you’re considering a trip that combines meaningful travel with unforgettable cultural connection, especially with children or teens, One Horizon is simply the best.

A truly personal cultural experience

We really enjoyed this experience. The family was warm and inviting and we learned so much. We enjoyed dancing with them and participating in their customs. A life-changing experience. And I got some beautiful hand-made jewelry. I loved this experience. They also took great photos which they shared with us.

An experience to remember for the rest of our lives.

My husband and I could not be more impressed with our experience. Alex, Mary and Solomon really made us feel like family. Our visit to the Maasai was so personal and we thoroughly enjoyed our time speaking with Daniel and his family. We truly enjoyed every minute of our experience.

Pulling people out of poverty.

Today some of us went to Go Granny Go a program sponsored by One Horizon Africa that helps pull families out of poverty. They give him impoverished African grandmothers opportunities to support themselves. The Go Granny Go program sets up grandmothers supporting their grandchildren as pig farmers. One of the stories that was told by Rosemary is that the most money she had ever had in her life at one time was $10. Through the Go Granny Go program she was able to sell two pregnant pigs and get $800. She was able to fix up her home get beds for her grandchildren and get electricity and running water which she never had before.

Our favourite day from our holiday

We got to visit a family of Masai outside Nairobi, who were repairing their manyattas. We were picked up at our hotel by two lovely staff of One Horizon, Solomon and Mary. We enjoyed their company and talking politics as we were given a lift to the village. When we arrived, we met one of the founders, Reesa and Daniel (family). We were given a warm welcome and it was clear that Colin and the family have a lot of respect for each other. After walking to the village, they performed a traditional dance and got us involved, which was good fun. Then we tried to help with the manyattas (emphasis on tried). Manyatta building is a skill and it took us a while to learn to apply the mud without if falling off later. Still, there was a lot of laughter and we enjoyed it immensely. We also spent a good amount of time talking and learning about the differences between Masai and UK culture, some of the uses of different plants and how things have changed for Daniel and his family, they are great people. Before we left, we bought some hand made jewellery and a belt, which we felt was fairly priced. It felt like we had really made some friends by the time we were done and both of us were sad to leave. We will definitely pay another visit if we are ever back in Nairobi. It was such an enriching experience and a day we will always remember. After we drove back, Mary and Solomon drove us to some curio shops, so we could pick up a few souvenirs, as it was the second to last day of the holiday. They were very kind to do this, as they did not have to. We felt so welcomed by everyone involved and honestly had the best day.
