Jenga Safari - Do good for Kenya while visiting Kenya

Would you like to go on a safari and do some good at the same time? We advise that you take the Jenga Safari package. Jenga is a swahili word meaning "To Build".

Jenga Safari - Be part of the Jenga Safari Mission... Do Good for the people of Kenya and people of Africa. You can do this by supporting any of the causes or by taking a Safari and visiting/supporting local communities. TWENDE.... LET'S GO!

The Jenga Safari package allows you to mix and match your interests in vacationing and volunteerism. You can take a well deserved vacation with your family or friends and at the same time help people in the communities that you visit.

Some great places to visit on your Jenga Safari:

Jacaranda Special School
Located in Nairobi, Jacaranda Special School is a school for children with special needs. The school has a workshop where graduate students make beautiful jewelry pieces from scratch. Visit and see how they make the jewelry step by step. You can get the jewelry for yourself or as a gift for a loved one. If for some reason you cannot wait to get to Kenya, then just make an order and purchase products online.

Combine this visit with a trip to Village Market - Kenya's premier shopping mall. Make sure you go when the Maasai Market is open so that you may have a chance to purchase local art work and gifts for your family and friends. See here what else you can find in Nairobi .
