A tour of outmost
mutual benefit – due you as well as the community. It takes you right into
the heart of Kenya
to interact with the locals. You stay in camp or for adventurous type may
opt for a home-stay in one of the homes in Mulot or Olulunga 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 small scale farming since the area has erratic
rains which leave them with meager resources to live on. Few children go to
school because of it nature of lifestyle. Even available schools are in
squalid condition and few to accommodate them all.
Our activities here
are geared to help the children of this area attain affordable education -
our stay here will help to build extra classrooms for less fortunate
children. 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 share their
expertise in areas like teaching, medical helps etc.
Other activities are
visits to Masai Mara, lake
Nakuru or Amboseli
for elaborate wildlife experience and cultural exposure with other
communities like the Masai and Kalenjin (the Athletic powerhouse) – it is never a
dull moment!
Order of activities.

to the village where you set up camps and/or for those interested in
