Dreaming about an adventure in Kenya that goes beyond the standard packages and tourist routes? Combine breathtaking wildlife safaris with unique cultural experiences where you get to experience Kenya in a more authentic and community-empowered style. In this collaboration, One Planet Journey introduces Steri Tours – a company redefining travel in Kenya. Through a focus on culturally immersive activities where travellers interact with locals in a respectful way, Steri offers clients more than safaris and wildlife. Founder Phoebe Maina explains how their tours provide travellers with deeper connections, lasting memories, and purpose.
Magical Kenya
As a destination, Kenya has an allure that few can beat. Here, in the warm and sunny climate, it all began for humankind. And we’re coming back in droves to experience its wonders and uniqueness. For example, Nairobi is the only capital in the world to have a national park within its borders. Imagine that. Lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes and leopards so close to a major urban centre. But, as with many popular destinations, the service offerings have become quite standardised, everyone flocking to the same places, with almost no variation.
Bucket list tourism does little in the way of creating lasting connections between travellers and resident communities. With the rise of deep travel, there is a desire for more meaningful pursuits. A new crop of tour operators with responsible and immersive practices in place provide experiences like no other. Perfectly matched with travellers who know more.
What’s great in Kenya is the palette of activities on offer. You can easily combine exclusive wildlife safaris with a deep dive into the diverse culture. But what should you see and do? Let’s get specific and showcase some absolute highlights, making it easier to mix and match your perfect Kenya tour…
