6-Day Kenyan Cultural Safari from Nairobi with Maasai Village Visit

• Visit a children's centre on the outskirts of Nairobi, which provides kids with their regular meals each day. Lend a helping hand in preparing and distributing nutritious food, and in return receive beautiful, happy smiles as you see how these communities work together to help the hungry and the most vulnerable.

• Visit the Women's Empowerment Centre, where local women undertake an 18-month program that teaches them trade and entrepreneurial skills so that they can set up their own businesses to support their families. Spend an inspirational day with these proud, self-sufficient women and gain a better understanding of how they have been able to overcome difficult challenges that have transformed them into independent business owners and community leaders.

• Drive west of Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, Kenya's most beautiful freshwater lake, surrounded by peaceful grassy banks and fringed by thick papyrus.
• Along the way, stop at the roadside for the stunning views of Kenya's Great Rift Valley.
• Arrive at a lovely lakeside lodge in huge grounds studded with acacia trees, where you may spot the odd antelope or vervet monkey.
• Catch a small boat to view the hippos and abundant birdlife that Naivasha is famous for.
• Return to the lodge and enjoy a delicious, leisurely lunch. Enjoy swimming in the pool before returning to Nairobi in the late afternoon.

• Visit another local community to meet some of the endearing and entrepreneurial Kenyan grandmothers who play a vital role in keeping Kenyan families together.
• Discover how pig-husbandry provides financial support and how the bio-gas system creates energy from waste to power a home. The initiative aims to empower grandmothers through small-scale farming.
• Sit with them over a cup of local tea and enjoy some joyful singing and dancing. Listen to their powerful stories of resilience.

• Spend an amazing day with the warriors and women of a traditional Maasai village. It starts with a welcome song and dance, where the wife of a village elder will offer to dress you in traditional Maasai shuka cloth, or 'African blanket'.
• Venture into the bush with her son, who will explain what it is like to be a young warrior in Maasai society, sit with the elders as they share stories of their fascinating culture, and learn from the women how to make traditional decorative beaded jewellery.

Your final day will be spent relaxing at leisure, allowing you to reflect on the amazing experiences of the past few days as you fondly remember the warm, fascinating, and inspirational Kenyan people you have met and connected with.

• A mid-morning pickup takes you to the restaurant at Ololo Safari Lodge, on the boundary of the national park, for a delicious lunch in the pretty gardens to celebrate the end of your 6-day tour, before you make your way to the airport to catch your flight.
