Together with the local community, we work to enable the rural populations in the Maasai ecosystem to benefit from their natural resources in a sustainable and non-destructive way to better care for their families and improve their standard of living. Part of this engagement involves fun games in the form of a Maasai Olympics! Here kids can join local Maasai children together in games like bow and arrow, rungu (staff) tossing and high jumping!

When visiting Chyulu Hills, stay busy with plenty of activities and options to explore this beautiful area. Enjoy morning, afternoon and early evening game drives in traditional 4x4 safari vehicles, half and full day horseback safaris, guided mountain bike safaris, authentic Maasai cultural visits, and even tracking with Bloodhounds! Campi ya Kanzi is a boutique ecolodge in the Chyulu Hills of southern Kenya. It is the only safari camp on Kuku Group Ranch, a community-owned Maasai reserve of 283,000 acres. The camp sits between three national parks – Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Chyulu Hills – and offers stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro.Other lodges lack the ability to provide guests with a real classic safari experience. They list all the activities they offer, often quite unrelated to what a classic safari experience is about.

CommUnity Impact Opportunities
School Sports Club
This school sports club is a fabulous place for teens to interact and engage with local teens. We invite teens to share their passion with local students. The school supports clubs, including environmental, scouts, music and sports. Students can give a sports or music lesson, or anything else that is in line with their passion and expertise! The local school is operated by the Maasai Conservation Trust, and offers many opportunities for teens to customize an experience to engage based on their expertise and passions.
School Scholarships
Support this organization that provides young girls scholarships to boarding school and college. The school scholarships provide an alternative to forced marriages that occur in the impoverished Massai community.
HIV/AIDS Orphanage
Kids under 12 will have a truly unique and educational experience spending time at an HIV/AIDS orphanage, clinic and school. Located in the nearby town of Isiolo, this orphanage is a great opportunity to visit, make donations of clothes or toys brought from home, and interact with similarly aged children.
Preparing for Kenya
- Children under 12 receive a new friend, Kamara, (means moonlight) who comes with a story book telling what his life is like in Kenya.
- The whole family will receive recipes, books and movies preparing them for their safari
- While Kenya does not have distinct seasons and dramatic temperature changes, it does have “long rains” and “short rains.” June through November is the best time to travel with warm days and cool nights; however November starts to see short, scattered rains. April and May typically bring heavy, intermittent rains and many safari camps are closed during this time.
- A visa is required for your trip to Kenya.
