A tour of outmost
mutual benefit to you and the host communities. It takes you right into the
heart of Kenya to camp, interact and live (and for the adventurous type may
opt for a home-stay) with the locals of Mulot which is off the main tourist
circuit of Masai Mara Game Reserve. People here have no direct benefit from
tourism activities as in the case in main tourist destinations. They depend
on farming but the area has erratic rains which in most cases leave them
with meager resources to live on. Clean drinking water and decent houses
are beyond their reach. Our activities here are geared to improve their
living standard - our stay here will help to build/install water tank(s) or
build house(s) for some less endowed families. This is a noble way of helping
them benefit directly from tourism which otherwise will not have come their
way.
For those of us with
specialized skills at some point, may spare their time to help the locals
share their expertise in areas like teaching, medical helps etc. And to
wrap it all, we visit some of the main attractions like Masai Mara, lake
Nakuru etc for wildlife experience and also an elaborate cultural exposure
with other communities like the Masai – it is never a dull moment!
Order of activities.
Arrive and be driven
to the village where you set up camps and/or for those interested in
home-stay are introduced to their hosts.
The first week is
for catering materials for construction, which have been bought in advance
to begin work. A technical skilled person is on site to assists in the
construction as you help and learn the African way of doing things. Also
there are breaks to interact with the local communities and join them in
their day today life and visit some major wildlife attractions like Masai
Mara, Lake Nakuru amongst others
