Perfect Kilimanjaro and Safari
My husband and I did a week-long Kilimanjaro Machame Climb and 5 days safari tour with KWESA. The climbing crew was exceptionally professional and made our hike smooth through fantastic support in terms of advice, mental support, food, duty, care and ensuring our safety at all times. The tents were clean and comfortable. We made it to the summit and the experience was better than we could have imagined. I have to give KWESA top marks for organization and execution for everything went very well. Indeed this is a trip that we will not forget soon for all the good things.

Super!!
I am a woman who has traveled a lot and all this traveling has made me very demanding. Inthis journey Bartho, Maliaki and Sule have been able to create, the journey of my dreams. I will never forget this trip and the spectacle of nature that Tanzania offers. We will see you again as soon as possible.

Wonderful Experience - Highly Recommend!
Our group of 8 (four adults and four kids ages 10-15) spent the day with One Horizon Africa at one of the schools One Horizon works with in Nairobi. It was absolutely one of the most special experiences of our two week trip to Kenya. And I can’t say enough good things about Colin and everyone else we met. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience dealing with Explorer Kenya Tours & Travel
I booked a 7 day safari trip for my family scheduled to start in late June 2020, back in January 2020. Sadly, with the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic, I made a decision to cancel the trip in early April. Therefore, the only experience I have had with Explorer Kenya was through emails with Robert Murigi, but based on that experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Robert is very professional, knowledgeable, efficient and conscientious. Initially when I was researching I reached out to a number of tour operators, but Robert really stood out by the promptness and completeness of his answers to my emails. I felt very comfortable dealing with him and felt confident about making a booking with them and sending a deposit for the trip. When I made a difficult decision to cancel the trip in early April, the request was promptly dealt with and my deposit was refunded within days. The whole experience has been so smooth and first rate. I have 100% confidence in them and I am already looking forward to contacting them again about booking a safari trip when Covid-19 is under control and the travel becomes safe again.

I was blessed with the opportunity to become immersed in the heart and soul of Kenya and its people.
One Horizon was spot on in providing me with a safe, comfortable environment that gave me the joy of experiencing the true Kenyan spirit.
I experienced projects that included the Empowerment of Women, a Day with the Masai, Farming program for Grandmas, and a visit to one of the schools supported by One Horizon. All of my tours left me feeling FULL from the connection I had with my new Kenyan friends. One Horizon allowed me to be a part of a socio-culture experience that made me feel like I had a connection with both the people, culture and environment.
Learning about the traditions, struggles and joys of the Kenyan women and families has encouraged me to bring travelers to One Horizon and their tour opportunities several times in the past three years. I hope to continue sharing the connection and opportunity to support the lives of my Kenyan friends. I walk away from each experience knowing I have become a better person through my interactions provided by One Horizon.
Needless to say, I give One Horizon my highest recommendation for a life changing experience. Just do it....they will take care of you.

Unforgettable! Will go down as one of the best, if not the best, vacation ever.
This adventure more than met my expectations. I jumped on board at a friend's suggestion but had never placed Africa on my bucket list. What a mistake! This trip was the best. Our local/stateside rep, Amy, kept us posted on when and how to prepare, and traveled with us. How fortunate to have a go-to person with us. Eric Otieno met us at the airport and never left us. He stayed in the same lodges and drove one of the three safari jeeps.
We ventured out on game drives almost daily, yet somehow fit in cultural, educational, and philanthropic activities. In addition to exciting game drives, we visited a tea farm (think we're all tea drinkers, now), local tribal villages, Karen Blixen's (Out of Africa) house, and the Giraffe Center, which has successfully preserved the Rothschild Giraffe (Yea!).
Favorite ventures: Nanyuki Spinners, a self help program for at-risk girls, where the weavers create quality products and explain each step; Ol Pejeta Rhino Sanctuary, where we saw the last two remaining Northern White Rhinos, and Dr. Jane Goodalls' Chimpanzee Rescue site where, Poco, a rescued chimp put on quite a show.
I was prepared to rough-it a little on the accommodations, but no need, they were top notch.
Can I do it all again?

Our safari was perfectly organized. One of the best experiences of my life. thank you
Thank you for this wonderful safari. Kiliholidays was perfect. Mack was professional, helpful, very very friendly, and on time.
Thomas, our guide, speaks English very well and has given us a lot of his specialist knowledge of the landscape and animals. Because of his local knowledge and his look, we saw elephants, zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, buffalos, flamingos, hyenas, hippos and and and. And even a successful two lion hunt.
The accommodations were wonderful and the food excellent.
I highly recommend kiliholidays and Thomas.
Thanks a lot. Esther and Clemens
