• We may be able to visit one of our friends' family home to experience a more traditional Maasai life; this is a very sweet and humbling day.

​

What is included in the tour cost?

​

• We are happy to book you an additional night in Nairobi on either end of the tour if that is your preference. 

​

What is the cost?

• For an individual the cost will be $4,250

  • There is a slight room and board discount for couples/those sharing a room.

  • If you are interested in booking the tour as a group of 5 or 6, we can discuss a flat rate for the group. 

 

What else can I say?

• The tour is a max of 6 people to ensure an enriching experience enabling deep connections. 

• We stay in comfortable, clean places that are mostly owned by Maasai or other Kenyans (aka, NOT British or businesses from other countries). They are not glamorous but they are reasonable and we like supporting them. 

• We always invite a few local friends to join us, especially when we are in Nairobi. They are all delightful and I'm sure you'll enjoy getting to know the students. 

• Doing this tour supports tons of local businesses and charitable organizations.  Overall tourism is still making its way back in Kenya and everyone needs more work, so truly just going on the tour helps many businesses and families that need an influx of tourist spending. 

• I'll send you lots of lists of helpful things to have and key items to bring.

• I will host one or two group Zoom Calls in the weeks leading up to the tour to answer any questions you may have and get to know each other.
