I had grand plans on arrival in Kenya to do a couple of the One Horizon tours, however had issues with their booking system only booking for the day after tomorrow. This led to phone calls with owner-operator Colin, who was able to accomodate me with both tours I wanted in a half-day personalised tour. I was met by Carol at my hotel and travelled to meet mothers with HIV thriving thanks to a two-year rehabilitation program that teaches them trade and entrepreneurial skills so they can set up their own business to support their families. There I also met Solomon (and Colin, briefly) and together we travelled on to meet two grandmothers thriving off pig-farming and able to support their families for the first time in their lives. I honestly could write tons about these experiences, but I will keep it to this: being a development graduate, I know what good charity and bad charity looks like. Colin gets in there and asks what is needed in the community and then makes it happen. The programs come from the community and the community thrives because of it. This is charity at its best. All of the women but particularly the warm hospitality shown by the grandmothers and Carol and Solomon over a lunch we made together, hearing stories about Kenyan life, the struggles, was probably the single best tourism experience I ever had. Carol and Solomon answered every question I had and then some, and I felt so inspired by their hard work and dedication. Travelling for another two months across Africa this tour remained my number one experience and takeaway of what Africa is. I cannot recommend One Horizon highly enough.
3. Together We Can (4 Unforgettable Days)

This experience will leave you humbled and heartened and you will finish the tour by spending time with the Maasai and learn about their fascinating way of life that hasn’t changed for centuries.

We had a 2 night 3 day safari and were so pleased with all aspects of it! We had 5 game drives over this time which we thought were great. Our guide, Geoffrey, was very good at spotting all the animals, including lions, elephants, giraffe, wildebeast and many more. He was very informed about all of the names of birds too. The bus was comfortable too. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for a wonderful trip.

I was picked up at my hotel in Diani and taken to downtown Mombasa with other participants. The tour was excellent as guided by Mr Kombo who translated in both French and English. Mr Timothy Katana at Baobab resort was very knowledgeable about the tours offered and he booked for me the tour guided by Mr Kombo. It was an awesome birthday gift. I am truly indebted to this two men. Highly recommended. Tim New York, USA
