Kenya is known for its stunning landscape, unique wildlife and diverse cultural heritage. But this beauty contrasts sharply with the country's high levels of poverty, violence, homelessness and disease, especially HIV/AIDS. Most Kenyans live below the poverty line of $1 a day and droughts frequently put millions of people at risk. Nevertheless, the unwavering spirit of the African people shines through in their passion for music, dance and art. Today, Kenya is the ultimate destination for adventure travel in Africa. It is one of the finest safari destinations in the world, and the magical character of the country entices travellers to return time after time.

There comes a time when many of us look for something new to challenge us, something we can be part of along with other women which makes a positive difference to other people's lives. An experience that includes travel, adventure, meeting other like minded women and contributing to communities in need.

Safari of the Soul is the ultimate experience for women between the age of 40 - 60 who are looking for more than just a holiday. This program is for women who want a purposeful experience, to reconnect with what's really important and support the good work of World Youth International. Run over a 3 week period in August each year, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in Kenyan culture while making a difference to people's lives. This jam packed adventure will take you to the heartland of western Kenya where you will share accommodation with the local children, interact with the women and work on sustainable community development projects.
