Eco Basics Home Experience Tour
A Cultural Immersion in Kenya
It is a unique community based tourism where visitors are invited to spend time with local residents in relatively undisturbed natural areas often rural, poor and economically marginalized, intended as low impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial tourism. The visitors spend a day or days with the host family, participating in day to day activities in a richly guided experience and with provision of overnight accommodation, if need be.
The Eco – Basics home stay experience tour encourages a deeper connection between the host and visitor, while also promoting environmental protection, sustainability, cultural conservation, social responsibility, enhancement of livelihoods and mindfulness of the host community and our planet as well. Visitors get an opportunity of interacting with the communities, learning various aspects of their culture while experiencing social economic and environmental issues endemic to area.
