KENYA

Hosted by The African Children’s Choir, Kenya


A Kenyan ACC story of kids kept from the stage—but never from school.


ACC Kenya once watched a choir reach the airport and be turned back due to governmental policy. There were tears—and a promise: stage or no stage, the children would keep going. With no ACC schools in Kenya, the team sponsors kids through local schools, covering fees, uniforms, and mentoring. Quiet work. Big change.

FRI 2 Oct - MON 5 Oct  -  3 nights 

NAIROBI

​​Flying into Nairobi, we’re met by the ACC team with big smiles and hugs—the kind that feel like family.

Day 1: we head into the slums for home visits with sponsored kids and their families—time to sit, talk, and deliver a food package to each household.

​Day 2: a joy-filled village day trip (just over an hour from Nairobi): fetch water, help with cooking, stroll the red-earth paths, laugh lots—then return to Nairobi at sunset, a little tired and very full-hearted.

MON 5 -  WED 7 Oct - 3 days/2 nights 

Galu-Kinondo MOMBASA

​​We’ll fly from Nairobi (Wilson) to Ukunda Airstrip—a quick hop of about 1 hour 20 minutes—then it’s a 10–15 minute drive to the quiet sands of Galu–Kinondo. For 3 days / 2 nights we slow right down: sunrise swims, long beach walks on powder-white sand, and lazy afternoons under palms with the village at our doorstep. Optional treats include a simple dhow/snorkel to the reef or a visit to Kaya Kinondo’s sacred forest, but unhurried is the mood. Evenings are for barefoot dinners, starry skies, and the soft hush of the Indian Ocean.

 WED AFTERNOON - Return flight to Nairobi

Sheldrick Elephant Nursery

One magical hour with Nairobi’s orphaned calves.

WED 7 OCT  - 1 night - Nairobi

THUR 8 Oct – Craft, Elephant Orphanage & Lake Naivasha

We begin at Utamaduni Craft Centre, browsing Maasai beadwork, baskets, fabrics, and carvings — each piece supporting local artisans.
Late morning, we head to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, where calves guzzle milk, splash in the mud, and charm with cheeky trunk waves.
After lunch, we drive into the Great Rift Valley and on to Lake Naivasha, arriving at Camp Carnelley’s by late afternoon. Hippos offshore and dinner at Lazybones set the safari mood.

THUR 8 -  SAT 10 Oct - 3 days/2 nights 

LAKE NAIVASHA  &  LAKE NAKURU SAFARI

Upon arrival at Lake Naivasha, an afternoon boat ride brings hippos, fish eagles, and a walk on Crescent Island, safe among giraffe, zebra, antelope, and over 400 bird species.

Day two takes us to Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for rhinos and Rothschild’s giraffe, plus buffalo, lions, and, if lucky, leopard. The lake often glows pink with flamingos and pelicans. Picnic lunches and game drives fill the day before returning to camp.

Accommodation: Two nights at Camp Carnelley’s, a rustic lakeside retreat with hippos offshore and meals at the laid-back Lazybones Restaurant.

SATURDAY 10 Oct - Return to Nairobi

Our final morning is gentle—coffee by the lake, a short stroll, then back to Nairobi.

Afternoon - Chance to shop at local markets.

SUN 11 October 2026
