Highlights
Insights of Life is a tour in the Magical Kenya Signature Experience Collection – curated, unique, authentic and exceptional once-in-a-lifetime Kenyan travel experiences accredited by the Kenya Tourist Board (KTB)
This eye-opening One Horizon 6-day cultural safari gives travellers the opportunity to meet Kenyans from various walks of life and hear their inspirational stories. You’ll see that it’s possible for people to gain the strength and courage to break free from poverty. Give the gift of time at a soup kitchen to feed hungry children, meet the steadfast grandmothers who run enterprises to support the younger generations, and see how a vocational training project empowers women and keeps families together. Additionally we have also included some sightseeing and some delicious meals out for an all-round Nairobi experience, and you visit a Maasai village and become an honorary member of the tribe, and enjoy some relaxing time at beautiful Lake Naivasha.
Itinerary
Helping at a Soup Kitchen
Kiambu
7 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeGetting 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.- AccommodationsLe Maison Royale Nairobi - 4 starsFood And DrinksLunchDinner
Visiting a Women's Centre - New Skills and Bright Futures
Ngong Hills
7 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeToday 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 leaders.

The Hippos of Lake Naivasha
Lake Naivasha
7 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeToday 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, 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. 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.- AccommodationsLe Maison Royale NairobiFood And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
Grannies Going Forward with Their Pigs
Kikuyu
7 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeToday you will visit ar local community to meet some of the 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.
