Eco-Safari

Do you need a break away from the hustle and bustle of your normal life? Are you feeling run down and in need of some good food, fresh air and exercise? This eco-safari gives you the chance to totally relax, be at one with nature and return home invigorated.

You may not appreciate just how beautiful life can be (for some) in Kenya, abundant with nature and culture and adventure. Exceeding your expectations is going to be easy and the rural people of Kenya need you as eco-tourists. People who will buy their services directly so the money goes to the communities and not back to the cash rich countries. Eco-Tourism is tourist's money directly entering the country's economy and not being sucked back to the rich countries where the tourists have come from.

Each tourist can make an incredible difference by paying fairly for the services from the local people and NOT totally relying on the tour operator services, which are to a large extent financed by outsiders.

Eco-safari tours give you a comprehensive expose of Kenya's nature and culture, including adventurous and informative aspects to life on the beautiful Rift Valley. There is a wide collection of eco-projects in the country and we take great pride in introducing visitors to these. The projects include wildlife conservation; sustainable living (in rural villages), responsible tourism development and projects focussed on cultural enhancement.
