Kenya is a truly beautiful country. This tour combines unique wildlife and stunning scenery with visits to fair trade tea and crafts producers, a range of other development projects and a cultural insight into a few of the 42 ethnic community groups of Kenya. Named after Mount Kenya, it has a population of 30 million and is the economic centre of East Africa.
Starting in the hustle and bustle of Nairobi we visit Traidcraft Exchange's office and then head north to see some of their projects and to meet some Fairtrade tea growers on the slopes of Mount Kenya. On our way south we stop at Nakuru with its flamingos and rhinos before heading west to Kisii to see where our soapstone figures come from and to meet some of their talented carvers.
No trip to Kenya would be complete without a visit to the Maasai Mara and our visit to the vast savannah plains is timed to coincide with the wilderbeest migration which promises some spectacular animal sightings!
