I left during a very difficult moment in my life and came back completely renewed thanks to the immersion in the local culture and nature. I truly recommend it.

The Italian team is always available to clear up any doubt, and the local team in Kenya welcomed me far beyond expectations. The only real downside is having to leave once the experience is over :) Thank you!

This is the kind of experience that stays with you. The organisation is flawless and the team makes you feel part of a family from day one.

Authentic, well organised, full of wonderful people, a welcoming atmosphere, and meaningful activities that really leave something with you. Highly recommended!

My time in Otaki was one of the truest and most beautiful experiences I've ever had. The village is small and surrounded by nature; everyone welcomes you with a smile and within no time you feel part of the community.

We took part in environmental conservation activities, planted mangroves and worked on village projects. Andrea and Diletta supported us every step of the way. We'd do it again tomorrow!
