Include in the price is:

• Six nights accommodation; all meals; flights within Kenya; guided game walks and game drives; donation to community projects; and all transfers (10% commission on each booking)

• Community Project: $500, included in the overall cost, will be donated on behalf of those who        booked  the trip to building a new classroom at Esoit Academy in Kenya.
