After experiencing Kenya’s natural wonders, take some time to give back to its people, the Masai. Working closely with your expert local guide, select & organize a Voluntourism endeavor. Depending on the time of your visit & the current needs within the community, you can participate in a variety of development activities focused on improving the health and education of the Masai people.
Voluntourism opportunities include:
* Buy, deliver & help to install a water catchment system that will provide a local family with clean drinking water.
* Volunteer at a local school, donate school supplies and sponsor a student.
* Visit a local market & barter Masai style for goats or cattle which you will then deliver & gift to a local widow or struggling family as a long term source of sustenance & income.
* Visit a local community clinic and meet with mothers & their newborns. Provide them with Healthy Start Kits featuring a selection of baby healthcare & sanitary products as well as clothing, bedding & formula - to give a young child a healthy new start on life.
A day spent Voluntouring is easily incorporated into any of Kensington's Kenyan safaris. Take a look at all the private guided tours that can include a Voluntourism experience HERE
