Do You Want to Go to Kenya?
When people reach out to us to go on an expedition to Kenya, they usually say, "I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Africa!" 100 Humanitarians International has been taking teams to Kenya since 2015. If you have wanted to experience the following in your life, then it's time to book the trip and get in the jeep!
Cultural Immersion with the Maasai
Life-Changing Service with Families
#1 Safari Destination in the World
Sample Itinerary (Each Trip is Unique!)
Day 1 : Leave the US
Depending on where you are flying from, you will arrive at the airport 3 hours before departure. After checking in, meet the team and get to know each other! You have a long flight ahead, so make sure you have water and snacks if you need them. Plenty of movies on board to watch, and there is always napping.
Layover meals not included.
Day 2: Arrive in Nairobi at Night
Phew! That was a looong flight, right? After we are picked up at the airport by our expedition team, you will be transported to our hotel, where after a short debriefing, you will settle in for the night. Bring earplugs, or download a white noise app for your phone to drown out the animal noises from the nearby Nairobi National Park!
We arrive very late to the hotel, so typically we eat snacks if we are hungry.
Day 3 : Travel Day
Make sure you have access to snacks, because today we are heading out of Nairobi to our first location. We will stop and take team pictures and enjoy the gorgeous views of the Escarpment, before descending down into the Great Rift Valley. We'll get checked in and enjoy a fabulous meal as we get settled into Kokoo's Guest House.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner (we snack along the way for lunch)
Day 4 : Meet the Maasai/The Cultural Experience
One of the most beautiful aspects of our trips is cultural immersion, and there is no better way to get to know the Maasai than to visit their church services. Get ready to sing and dance, as the Maasai take the lead. Then, learn about how families live and work as we visit a traditional Maasai village. You will enter as visitors, and leave as family. This is the first place you can buy souvenirs for your people left at home.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5 : The Garden Tower Project/Safari
Every team has the opportunity to build garden towers with families, so grab your gardening gloves and get to work! Our Community Directors are there to help you, as well as interpret the challenging Maasai language. These garden towers can feed a family of 5 up to 5 meals a week, so the more families we can help, the better. After lunch, jump in the jeep, because you are going on safari! Bring your cameras, water bottles, wipes, and snacks!
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 6 : The Garden Tower Project/Water Project
Today is a busy day, as we work with more families building garden towers, and we also work on a water project. This could include delivering water tanks to families to capture rainwater, or it could include helping to preserve a spring to bring clean water closer to families. Make sure you take breaks when you need to, and get to know the people you are serving.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 7: Water Projects
The Water Projects continue today, so we hope you slept well. One of the biggest challenges on the Maasai Mara is lack of water, for both the people and their livestock. Maasai families survive by breeding and selling cows and goats, so having the access to water is critical for their survival. Every drop is precious!
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 8: Full Day Game Drive
Today is the dream! You get to wake up before the sun, and get in the jeep for an all day game drive. The goal is always to see the Big Five on an expedition. Will you be lucky enough to see the rhino? Will the stealthy leopard show itself? Anything goes, and every safari is totally different. And tonight back at Kokoo's Guest House, you are in for a real treat.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 9: Community Visit
Say goodbye to our beautiful friends on the Maasai Mara, because we are on to our next adventure with a different tribe - the Kalenjin. We will be heading up the road a bit to Bomet County, where our teams have built thousands of garden towers with families. You will experience a new culture before heading back to Nairobi for your flight home.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 10: Drive to Nairobi for Outbound Flight
After a good night of rest (your last one in a bed for a little while) we will load up the jeep for our trip back to Nairobi. Take one last look at the Great Rift Valley, and then we will spend some time at The Galleria, where you can shop for last minute souvenirs and eat dinner (credit cards are accepted here) before heading to the airport (and our final farewell to our amazing team.)
Meals Included: Breakfast, (Lunch will be snacks)
Day 11: Arrive Home
We are so grateful that you joined us on our Kenyan adventure! We hope that your experience was incredible, and that you will join us again in the future.

Incredible Safari Guides
Moses and Muneria have been with us since the beginning, and will be with us every kilometer of our expedition.
