Be sure to bring your camera and capture the beauty and colour of the layers of bead necklaces and bracelets, the red clay braids of the warriors, and the contrast of their bright cloth wraps against the African savanna.

As a result, a very special G Adventures for Good supported project, Amani ya Juu, was created. Amani ya Juu serves as a community where many of these women can learn entrepreneurship and engage in fair trade activities that allow them to create opportunities for themselves and their families. By creating unique handicrafts symbolic of their cultures, the women can express themselves and receive an impactful income, leading to economic independence.

I've been on several G Adventures and always enjoyed them. I believe in the company's mission and the style of travel it provides. I only didn't select 10 because I'm not sure if I'd recommend this camping safari in particular due to the poor accommodations and touristy activities.

I have done many G Adventures and I always have a great time. Budget-friendly and everything runs smoothly.
