TRIP HIGHLIGHTS
Join us for an unforgettable adventure with Somewhere Devine in Kenya, 2025! This is truly one of our favorite places in the world, and we are so excited to share it with you all. We will be getting up-close and personal with wildlife, immersing ourselves in the local culture, and getting our hands dirty at Mattaw Children’s Village to make a difference!
We will kick off the expedition by sightseeing in Nairobi and having our first animal encounter: feeding giraffes! Then we will travel up to Lake Naivasha for a boat and foot safari on Crescent Island where you will find no barriers between you and the animals. It is the home to over 900 hippos and feels like a real-life Jungle Cruise experience! And don’t worry, our photographer will be snapping away so you can relish in the moment. Then we will venture up to Kitale for our service project, where you will see first hand how Kenyans live, and work alongside the locals to improve the Mattaw homes & primary school. Then we will hop on a chartered flight, to dive into the heart of the wild with a thrilling 2 day safari in the Masai Mara – where we’ll encounter The Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo – and have a picnic on the Mara with our Masai guides. Get ready to make new friendships and create unforgettable memories in this once-in-a-lifetime expedition!
