Step into the Oasis of Hope at Ruben Centre, a bustling campus within an informal settlement in the heart of Nairobi.

Following an immersive day at the Centre, we will enjoy dinner with the leadership team of Ruben Centre to get to know their community-building approaches.

After this fun day together with the HELGA students, we will settle into the Brighton Jones Guest House and enjoy a traditional Kenyan meal prepared by our chef.
In the morning we’ll visit the Giraffe Centre and then take a short domestic flight into the Maasai Mara to begin our Safari.
