International Medical Relief continues to make a difference in Kenya as we return to aid the survivors in this land of continued healthcare peril. There is a desperate need for more comprehensive health care that includes education. Diseases spread quickly and become unmanageable. Here, you will stop the spread of infectious diseases and minimize this devastation. The children’s shining faces and bright smiles mask the chronic conditions and acute illnesses plaguing their survival. They are filled with delight upon your arrival as you bring much needed care to those without access to medical attention. Venture into their hearts and experience the rich Kenyan culture while caring for them and bringing them hope and inspiration. After an arduous clinic schedule the team will see up close some of the world’s most amazing animals. On your safari you will witness the harmony of numerous species of wildlife rarely found in any large quantity anywhere but Kenya.

For a country of its size, Kenya is certainly a microcosm with mountains and deserts, colorful tribal lineages and orphanages, cities and informal settlements, and some of Africa’s best wildlife attractions. It has stunning landscapes that set each scene. Its rich and unique culture is attributed to the Kenyan people all who are uniquely identified with their own particular tribe, yet 98% are Africans by heritage. Some tribes have kept their traditional African tribal lifestyle, most famously are the Maasai Warriors who greet you with a simple Jambo or “hello”.
