An experience I highly recommend
The Italian team is always there to answer your questions, and the local team in Kenya gave me a warmer welcome than I could have imagined. The only real downside is having to leave when it's over :) Thank you!
An amazing experience I'll always carry with me
I left at a very difficult time in my life and came back feeling completely refreshed after immersing myself in the local culture and nature. I'd really recommend it.
