Overview
Over six remarkable days, this journey reveals itself as far more than a cultural tour—it is a carefully curated passage into the heart of community, tradition, and place. Thoughtfully designed for the discerning traveller, each encounter offers privileged access, genuine warmth, and a rare depth of immersion, creating memories that feel both profoundly personal and quietly extraordinary.
- A morning at our Nutrition and Education Centre, where you are welcomed into the gentle rhythm of daily life and invited to share in a deeply meaningful expression of care, connection, and community.
- Time at the Women’s Empowerment Centre, meeting remarkable women whose vision, resilience, and enterprise offer an inspiring and deeply personal encounter with lives being transformed from within.
- A day on Lake Naivasha, where tranquil waters, abundant birdlife, and the quiet presence of hippos create an atmosphere of rare stillness—an elegant immersion in one of Kenya’s most beautiful natural settings.
- A visit with entrepreneurial grandmothers whose farm reflects dignity, humour, and quiet resourcefulness, offering a privileged glimpse into lives of substance, character, and enduring grace.
- An immersive day with a Maasai family, where traditions are shared with warmth and authenticity, allowing for a rare and respectful connection to heritage, culture, and the richness of everyday life.
- A celebratory farewell lunch on Day Six, bringing the journey to a graceful close in a setting of reflection, warmth, and shared joy—an ending that feels less like departure and more like the close of something truly special.

Itinerary
Help at a Soup Kitchen
Getting involved in helping disadvantaged communities is both an opportunity to engage with local people and a rewarding way for travellers to contribute to alleviating the problems of poverty in Kenya. Today you visit a children’s centre on the outskirts of Nairobi supported by One Horizon, which provides the kids with their only regular meal each day. You lend a hand by helping to prepare and distribute nutritious food, and in return will receive beautiful, happy smiles and witness firsthand how communities work together to help the hungry and most vulnerable.

Women's Empowerment Centre
Today you visit the Women’s Empowerment Centre, another project supported by One Horizon, where local women undertake an 18-month program that teaches them trade and entrepreneurial skills so they can set up their own business to support their families. Spend an inspirational day with these proud, self-sufficient women and gain a better understanding of how they have been able to overcome difficult challenges and transform into independent business owners and community leaders.
And Meet Some Amazing Women
The Hippos of Lake Naivasha
Today we drive west of Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, Kenya’s most beautiful freshwater lake surrounded by peaceful grassy banks and fringed by thick papyrus. Along the way, we stop at a roadside lookout for the stunning views over Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, and arrive at a lovely lakeside lodge in huge grounds studded with acacia trees and perhaps spot the odd antelope or vervet monkey. We catch a small boat to view the pods of hippos and abundant birdlife that Naivasha is so famous for, then back at the lodge enjoy a delicious leisurely lunch and relaxing swim in the pool before returning to Nairobi in the late afternoon.
And Meet Those That Call The Lake Home
Grandmothers Love Their Pigs
Today you will visit another local community to meet some of the endearing and entrepreneurial Kenyan grandmothers who play a vital role in keeping Kenyan families together. Discover how pig-husbandry provides food and financial support and the bio-gas system creates energy out of the waste to power a home. This is another worthwhile project that One Horizon supports, and the initiative aims to empower grandmothers through small-scale farming. Sit with them over a cup of local tea and enjoy some joyful singing and dancing and listen to their powerful stories about resilience.

Become a Maasai for the Day
Spend an amazing day with the warriors and women of a traditional Maasai village. It starts with a song and dance welcome where the wife of a village elder will offer to dress you in traditional Maasai shuka cloth or ‘African blanket’. Venture into the bush with her son, who will explain what it’s like being a young warrior in Maasai society, sit with the elders as they share their stories of their fascinating culture, and learn from the women how to make some traditional decorative beaded jewellery.
Promoting Women's Rights
Your final day will be spent relaxing at leisure, giving you the opportunity to reflect on the amazing experiences over the past few days as you fondly remember the warm and welcoming, and fascinating and inspirational Kenyan people you have met and connected with. A mid-morning pickup takes you for a delicious lunch with amazing scenery overlooking Nairobi National Park. A great way to celebrate the end of your 6-day tour. And you might like to partake of a swim in the pool whilst sipping your cocktails before departing for the airport which is only 10 minutes away.

10 stars! If I could give it more stars, I would. This was one of the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend this tour. Do not miss it. It’s a must

AMAZING DAY with a Masai Family. We were greeted by one of the village elders by the name of Daniel. We spent the first hour with Daniel who showed us the huts {houses} the village family stays in that the women built. We had an amazing discussion about the Masai culture and ways of life. Coming from the US, hearing things that are so far from what our life experiences in the States are was an eye opening experience. Daniel introduced us to his sister who had a very powerful story of her life as a young Masai girl growing into becoming a woman. Within the day leading to her story we were entertained by village songs, we were shown how to create beaded bracelets with the women. They closed the day spent with them with coffee and snacks. It was a day well spent. If you are in Nairobi you absolutely have to take time out to do something completely different and become exposed to a different culture and see all of the similarities we humans share. SO worth the time and effort. Our tour guide and our translator were great to spend the day with and gain such valuable insight on the life in Kenya, as well as the Masai people.
