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!
