Trek Kenya 2011
In February 2011 a group of celebrities trekked in Kenya to raise funds for charity. Now it's YOUR turn!
Join us on this once in a lifetime opportunity to trek 86km through Kenya’s stunning Maasai Mara Nature Reserve and Great Rift Valley and raise much needed funds for Vision Africa.
Trek Kenya journeys through the heart of Kenya’s stunning Rift Valley encompassing some of Africa’s most stark, yet beautiful natural scenery. Immersed in the Maasai Mara Nature Reserve we delve deep into the vibrant culture of this region, learning about the traditional tribes people and viewing some of the best wildlife in the world.
As well as trekking through this fabulous part of the world, you will also have the opportunity to visit Vision Africa projects in Nairobi and meet some of the team and children we support. We can't wait to see you there!
Our itinerary includes six nights under canvas and in addition to walking through the Rift Valley and Maasai Mara we have included game drives in the Mara to guarantee up close encounters with the stunning wildlife. Download our brochure for more information and details of the full itinerary.
To take part we ask that you pay a deposit of £250 on registration and the balance of £550 six weeks before we depart (Note: cost excludes flights to Kenya, which you must arrange yourself). In addition we would like to challenge you to raise around £1500 in sponsorship, 100% of which will go directly to Vision Africa to support our work.
The price for Kenyan Citizens to take part in the trek is 80,000Ksh. We would also welcome involvement from corporate organisations in Kenya. Please contact us for more information.
