Heart warming Tour

11-Dec-2022

Our final tour in Kenya was a visit to a pig farm by Colin, the founder and unsung hero saving the vulnerable Kenyan elderly from poverty. We were overwhelmed and touched by Colins’ deeds and his commitment to help the poor and vulnerable of Kenya. This was more than just a tour fee, it was a life changing donation and an uplifting experience for these elderly women and their communities. Colin’s charity ‘One Horizon’ helps by unlocking the shackles of poverty and eliminating anxiety and fear for marginalised elders living in disadvantaged communities. They do this by raising and selling piglets via a local co-op at guaranteed prices, thus generating cash for their communities. Most interesting is that the biogas (methane) from the back-end of these pigs, produces enough fuels for cooking and heating for a community of 300 people. This is achieved as the pig manure is shovelled into a large tent that produces fermented methane gas which is then piped to the local community. This eliminates the need to illegally chop down trees and pay exorbitant gas prices. We willingly sponsored a methane tent. This tour will change the way you think and the proceeds are directed to uplifting living standards for a community Highly Recommended

What a fantastic and professional team of dedicated people

11-Dec-2022

I recently travelled to Kenya and had the pleasure of meeting Colin and his dedicated team. I was met at the airport by the lovely Solomon, who gave me the best welcome to Africa. Unfortunately, the tour operator in the UK had not informed One Horizon that I was a wheelchair user. After a bit of a struggle, I managed to get into the vehicle. The following morning Solomon and Colin arrived at the hotel and within less than 24 hours two wooden ramps and a step appeared so that I and my fellow travel companions were able to access the vehicle. The whole team were on hand to assist for the duration of the holiday. And what a holiday, we experienced the real Africa in all its challenges and its resilient people. We went to several projects that One Horizon sponsor and support. What an eye opener. I can't express how much I would recommend that you book with One Horizon, you will have the best experience. I can't wait to return and this time I will book direct with One Horizon. Thank you One Horizon, hope to see you all again soon.

Amazing memory of my life

11-Dec-2022

One Horizon has absolutely taken me on the best trip of my life. Everyone was absolutely amazing to me; the service and guidance and story was heart-warming and provided me with so much perspective in life that will always be treasured and valuable to me. I’ve missed Kenya ever since and when I go back there, I will definitely go to One Horizon again. Absolutely recommend and loved every second!

Amazing experience had in September 2022 on a nine day tour with One Horizon Africa. Without a doubt one of the best times in my life. Makes you realise how deeply connected we all are and how magnificent the human spirit is. When you visit Kenya a part of you never leaves….and a part of Africa will always stay with you. Its a special country and it’s people make it so. They are creative, resilient, abundant and so clever… One horizon tours enable the best way to experience Kenya, its humanity and its beauty.
