Rural Relaxation Journey
Expanding Opportunities offers you five complete days of total relaxation in traditional rural Kenya. We will visit indigenous people who live in the dry area of Kenya and remain very true to their traditions. There is no set itinerary for the five days. You will be free to hide out on the porch and write, visit schools, homes, or just sit and chat. The journey will be rough and unpredictable, but the total disconnect will be worth it.
