• Build a school alongside community members.• Walk in a mama’s footsteps.• Visit a local Maasai boma and Kipsigis homestead.• Train with Maasai warriors.• Two-night safari adventure at the exclusive Fairmont Mara

Safari Club. • Special Christmas lunch and New Year’s entertainment. Free The Children’s long-standing and deep ties with the communities provide an authentic and meaningful experience as you engage with the local people.

Build a school and connect with the local community.
