Impact Journeys
Kenya 2026
Experience the intersection of culture, compassion, and action
January 24 – February 3, 2026
Experience the intersection of culture, compassion, and adventure on our 2026 Kenya journey
This twelve-day experience goes beyond tourism, connecting you with remarkable communities making powerful change.
Witness Kenya’s breathtaking beauty—from being nose-to-nose with rescued elephants and giraffes to relaxing beside the Indian Ocean—while engaging with visionary leaders. Visit schools in urban settlements, meet Maasai women pursuing education and leadership development, and connect with children receiving life-changing rehabilitation.
Our partnerships here span over a decade, with visible impact in every project you’ll encounter. Previous participants consistently describe this journey as transformative, reshaping their understanding of wealth, responsibility, and personal impact.
This trip will challenge you, inspire you, and change your perspective on the world—and your place in it.
This was the best trip I have ever taken. Every detail was thought out, each leg of the trip was special and the interaction with the leaders of each school was so important in making this trip better than I could have imagined. Everyone should consider being clients of Brighton Jones because this trip clearly shows their commitment to both creating a better world and caring for their clients in ways no other financial company has in my past.
