OUR STORY
The three of us have been close friends for many years, bound by our shared passion for Kenya’s wildlife, landscapes, and vibrant communities. Over the years, we have organized many safaris for volunteers and visitors, creating unforgettable experiences that celebrate the beauty of the country.
Their positive feedback inspired us to create something bigger: a way for tourists to explore Kenya not just as visitors, but as guests who engage meaningfully with the land, its people, and its communities. Together, we combine our love for adventure with a commitment to giving back, ensuring every journey supports local communities while leaving lasting memories for our guests.

For over five years, he has been leading safaris together with his cousin. With his knowledge, passion, and friendly personality, Habel ensures guests experience Kenya’s wildlife and landscapes in an authentic and memorable way.

From here, school workshops, building projects, and family support programs are organized to strengthen the local community and create better opportunities for children, young people, and families.
Farm in Madunguni
Visit our farm in Madunguni, where okra, maize, and other local vegetables are grown. During the tour, we stop to visit the village elder and her family and experience authentic local life.
We also take a trip to the beautiful Sabaki River, where we cross the river in a traditional canoe, cut fresh sugarcane ourselves, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings before heading back to Malindi.
Kindergarten in Kwaupanga
The SOLWOGIDI Kindergarten provides a safe and loving place for children from disadvantaged families. Around 50 children receive education, daily meals, and emotional support.
Together with PAMOJA-mitanand and generous supporters, we help keep this important place alive and give children the chance for a better future through education, care, and community.
