View Profile

One Horizon's mission is to alleviate poverty in Kenya. Our sustainable programs target women, the aged, families and the Maasai. We established our holiday experiences so that we could introduce like minded individuals to helping others as well. We showcase the innovation, inspiration and determination of Kenyan communities. One Horizon holidays are incredible journeys. We take you beyond our famous wildlife parks to the communities and villages that are home to our extraordinary people. Our sustainable tours are unique opportunities to truly immerse yourself in Kenyan lives and culture. Our tours stir equally emotions, but they conjure a different sort of holiday magic as you laugh, dance and share life experiences with the amazing Kenyans you’ll meet. Some of their stories will touch your heart, but all will inspire you.
