We have thought that as we do promote these various charities, clients may be interested in either visiting them, if they are staying closeby, or stay in one of our community lodges, whereby the proceeds all go back into the community, be they Maasai or Samburu, or Turkana, therefore sustaining that community, and offering it integrity and pride as well as a source of income. This is particularly popular with our families, whose children are given an insight to the local children of the area, therefore making the holiday far more educational. Just to let you know, that these lodges are far from basic; the local tribes have been assisted by the owners of lodges and camps, so they tend to have the most beautiful architecture, the most stunning views, and of course, have the most wonderful guiding and management. Yes, service may be a bit slow, but this is Africa, and the charm of sharing these peoples home and community, as well as knowing that you have made a conscious effort to donate to a community, far more than makes up for any negatives and gives one a far more genuine experience.
