This week One Horizon launched a new two-day people safari, All Things Masai, which is a total immersion in Masai culture as the people of the traditional village we visit invite you to share their lives, customs and traditions. This village is a special place that tourists rarely have a chance to visit, but One Horizon guests are always welcome because our sustainable programs are changing the lives of the Masai people who call it home – and, whom you’ll come to call friends – as you connect in genuine and meaningful way during two unforgettable, fascinating and fun days experiencing All Things Masai …

So we asked him to sit down with grandma Helen for chat about her life – before and after One Horizon, her journey from despair to hope now she’s the owner of her own small pig farm …

The sights and sounds of Nairobi can often be unique and quirky but they are ‘so Kenya’! Think about purchasing a new 3-seater sofa. How do you get it home? If your answer is ‘hire a delivery truck’, you probably haven’t been to Kenya because this is a sight we see often … to the delight, amusement – and trepidation – of all, including the new sofa owner!

When we first met Tabitha a decade ago, we didn’t really think she would survive another day. The single mother of three young children weighed just 40 kilos. She was so chronically ill from a range of illnesses that we were prepared for the worst. Tabitha was bedridden and very sick, but with her determination […]

There’s a particular Acacia tree which is the centre of a strange phenomenon at our Masai village in Kajiado County – at every opportunity our guests scale the tree! This activity is not restricted by age or gender and we’re still pondering, why? We’ll leave you to come up with your own ideas as to why this tree has become such a lure and an unscheduled highlight of our Masai Magic experience.
