“Why do you do this?” This was the most commonly asked question of One Horizon Africa when it was looking for distributors of its tours.

Without a source of fuel, many families resort to foraging for firewood. And with Kenya’s population doubling every 20 years, the impact on forests has been devastating. Once well forested, the impact on wildlife has also meant the loss of habitat and greater erosion.

You see, Daniel was an extra in the movie OUT OF AFRICA as it was filmed partly in a valley close to where he lives. We believe that Daniel stole every scene in the movie that he was in.

The Masai are great eco warriors whose knowledge of the land and its conservation is second to none. As they travel with their herds they are vigilant about preserving it for the future and hence their wanderings are more strategic than you might at first realize.

One thing that hasn’t changed though is the general consensus that rather than incarcerating children into institutions of care (orphanages), it is mostly preferable for children to be maintained within the family or extended family unit. This usually requires additional family support of some kind.

One Horizon is very proud of its ability to be able to provide employment for local community projects. One of the main projects is fencing. The purpose of these fencing projects is to secure property from intruders but at the same time not to hinder the movement of wild animals. Recently and in the area where we do a lot of work, the problem has been hyenas and leopards that raid the Masai’s herds. It’s a great project

The global tourism industry is a mega trillion dollar activity with tour operators focused on profits and commissions. On the one hand it appears they are active social citizens who see themselves as change agents. On the other hand, they may be ignoring the sheer bread and butter issues of óvertourism’. At this stage, is doesn’t appear that the global tourist industry knows how to respond.

Our work with grandmas has been some of the most rewarding work that One Horizon and its army of committed travelers have ever been involved in. Of course its never easy and you have to stay the course, but it delivers in spades.

Whether its grandma sitting on her 3 seat lounge as she takes it home on a motorbike, or the acrobatic antics of a bus conductor, transport in Nairobi can be a life threatening scenario. A point of view that using local transport providers supports the local economy is a valid one. And in these days of ‘responsible tourism’ it makes good sense. But travelers in Nairobi may be wise to revisit decisions about how they get around.

At the heart of all this are the Kenyan people – innovative, inspiring and resilient.

How does a young Masai man straddle two worlds successfully? Risa is the son of a Masai Elder at the traditional Masai village that we visit on some of our people safaris. He lives in the world of ancient traditions that the Masai hold dear, but also he’s increasingly exposed to the developing world that Kenya embraces. Like many young Masai men with this ‘dual citizenship’, Risa is already navigating the inevitable challenges in amazing ways and exemplifies credentials that make him a great ambassador for both his tribe and his nation.

One Horizon is such a great organisation that helps poor communities establish sustainable futures in Kenya. Our guide, Carol took us to a village of the Kikuyu tribe on the outskirts of Nairobi to get a first hand look at their way if life. We sat with them, cooked and ate with them. They told us stories (translated from Swahili by our guide), they braided my hair, they hugged us and wouldn’t let go. It was a heart warming day.

Building new classrooms changes the lives of disadvantaged Kenyan children who come into One Horizon’s orbit. In many of our communities, parents either struggle to send their children to school or, in their despair, just give up. An education can be way down on the priority list, not because parents don’t value it, but simply because obtaining enough food takes every bit of money, effort and energy they have.
