Exceptional team, experience and lifelong memories made

I simply cannot write enough about how thankful I am to the entire team at One Horizon. I travelled to Kenya on short-notice, and on a whim thought I would try to fulfill a lifelong dream of sitting with Maasai and learning some specific things about their Moran culture. I reached out to One Horizon, and within an hour had a friendly and supportive reply. By the following morning my plans were made and my dream was to become a reality. On the day of my trip, I was greeted with a highly professional and friendly team, on time and ready to roll. Our ride was filled with bright conversation and laughter. Upon arriving at the location of our time with the Maasai family, we were once again greeted with warm smiles and the kindest welcomes. Our day with the family was just amazing. While they offer their routine for guests, they were happy to veer off course a bit to learn about myself and my 18 year old son (traveling along with me), and spend more time on my questions and interests. The sharing, wisdom and connection with the family was beyond words, as if I were sitting with my own relatives. I don't feel like I visited a group of people for a great experience; rather I was brought to a family who took my son and I in, showed us their culture, told us of their challenges and their joy in life. As well, they wanted to learn about us, our home, our family, our seasons. At the end of the day, we departed as friends, embracing one another and promising to meet again. Can you ask for more? In closing, I want to thank Colin and his incredible team at One Horizon for an experience that went far beyond my expectations. I know this day will be carried for the rest of my son's life, and we will both recall our new Maasai family friends and model their warmth and kindness in our own hearts. With gratitude, Adam Mitchell New York

This was so much more than a tour, it was an inspiring journey. My time with One Horizon Africa and the grannies was an experience filled with immense joy and meaning. I initially booked Go Granny Go because as a new grandmother and aspiring farmer, I thought it would be great to meet others who share similar identities. The experience was so much more than I imagined. There was an amazing energy from the time Solomon and Mary picked me up and throughout the entire day. Helen, Beatrice, and Carol put so much love into showing me around, sharing stories, and cooking lunch that I couldn’t help but dance and sing along. During our time together I was overcome with deep gratitude when hearing the life experiences of the grannies. They are an inspiring group. Resilience, perseverance, courage and strength are just a few words to describe the lives of these amazing women and the energy I departed with. It felt good to contribute to enriching the livelihoods of generations to come in a purposeful way. Thank you to the One Horizon Africa team and the grannies for creating such a meaningful experience and heartfelt memories.

Outstanding experience

Today we got to visit the drop in facility for street kids in one part of Nairobi run by One Horizon. What a privilege. We watched the kids perform some welcome items, visited their classrooms and read some stories about some Australian kids and animals, helped prepare lunch and serve it to them and participated in an art activity and face painting. Watching happy faces and learning about their plight and the great work of One Horizon from its founder and being hosted by Mary and Solomon was fantastic. I encourage you to take up the opportunity to visit when you come to Nairobi. Thanks for the experience.

As a European, this experience was absolutely fantastic! The people I met, the things I’ve heard and seen, all was overwhelming. It was also definitely an energy exchange, a great communication and a lovely atmosphere overall. The hosts were more than welcoming and I truly hope I also able to bring something in this exchange with the hosts. One Horizon was perfectly organising everything and the staff that accompanied me were very friendly and paying attention constantly to my comfort and well-being. So, a really exquisite experience!

Everyone who visits Kenya should do this

We had our One Horizon experience on the first day of our two-week Safari holiday in Kenya. Visiting the grandmothers and learning about their challenges was one of the best parts of the whole trip. We highly recommend this to anyone visiting – it gives you a different perspective on the great people of Kenya and the challenges they face. We visited two grandmothers and their pig farm project on the outskirts of Kenya. Our family with two teenage children were given an amazing welcome by our hosts. We were shown the pigs, the biogas plant and all the other improvements that One Horizon have helped with. We helped to feed the pigs and make chapatis which was hands-on and great fun. We then had a chance to hear the full story from our hosts and how, with help from One Horizon, they have turned their lives around. Highly advised for anyone.

Life Changing Experience!

The best days of my recent trip to Kenya were hands down those that I spent with my guides Mary and Solomon and the amazing women who welcomed me into their home and circle on the One Horizon tours. If you are reading this and wondering if you should take one of the tours offered by OneHorizon, YES! YES YOU SHOULD! If you are chasing experiences to fill you with Awe, the moral beauty of the people you will spend time with on a OneHorizon tour will leave you speechless. Let your tourism dollars directly impact people who live in the country you are visiting. Colin with OneHorizon is a conduit to wonderful people who will use these funds quite efficiently to bring more light into the world. And you will experience the culture of Kenya intimately in a way very few activities could offer. Sign up today! Like me, many tourists make the journey to Kenya to experience the romance of the savannah and see elephants, lions, giraffes and more in their natural habitat. And that was certainly exciting. But what made my time in Kenya unforgettable was the Kenyan people I met. And among the most memorable people was Rosemary, the hardworking grandmother who proudly told me about her life and success as a pig farmer which was started with the help of One Horizon. Rosemary was a wonderful hostess serving me cake and Kenyan tea, chatting, singing and dancing a little while preparing a delicious celebratory lunch together. This experience on the Light on the Horizon tour was a great first day in Kenya. I was also fortunate enough to spend my last day in Nairobi with an utterly amazing group of women at the Living Positively Women’s Empowerment Center. After receiving a diagnosis that marked a distinctive change in their life, they had to let go of who they were before, what they thought their lives would be and, very often, the people they loved and who had shaped them to date. With a blanket of darkness threatening to drown them, they swam away from the dark and towards the light with every ounce of strength they possessed. They were met with beacons of hope and love – the outstretched hands, the welcoming smiles, the songs and dances, the open listening hearts of other women who welcomed them to this new space. Who held them when they felt as if they might sink against the pull below them. These beautiful women may be seeking empowerment, but the feminine power they already possess in abundance is what will change the world in the decades to come. To spend a day in their circle was one of the great privileges of my life.
