Kenya Cultural Tours: 2-6 Day Signature Experience Tours
 

We didn't know such tours existed! - 6 Day Cultural Tour

The most common feedback from travellers regarding our 'cultural tours' is that "we didn't know such tours existed," or "we've been looking for something like this for ages' or "we didn't know about One Horizon.

"This tour is a must! To experience the lives of the Kenyan people in this most authentic way is priceless. I loved hearing about these women's stories. They are a true testament of strength and triumph rising above all adversity. One Horizon, a local non-profit, has helped these women see another side of life, a way out of poverty to care for their families. It's about women empowerment and the ability to fend for themselves through entrepreneurship. Learning how to make chapattis was so much fun. It felt like how I learned to cook with my own grandmother. We ate, laughed, and listened to each other's stories. I definitely bonded with these women, and in complete awe of their growth and progress through the foundation. Keep up the great work"!

Youth Leadership Program in Kenya

This program is aimed at developing the leadership skills of our youth.

Social Awareness and Personal Growth Through Consensus building, Problem Solving, Communication and Collaboration.

These are the all-important life skills we want to impart and enhance with our young people. Now imagine a workshop, an experience where these abilities are clarified and fostered within the daily life of another culture half a world away.

Picture your students in a Maasai community meeting their peers, village elders, and Maasai warriors, absorbing this ancient culture up close, and having the opportunity to work with these new friends in settings designed to foster their personal development.

Working individually and as a cohesive group, students are helped and challenged by One Horizon facilitators to explore solutions to everyday human interactions that are as relevant in a Maasai village as they are back home.
