… and experience rural Kenyan life firsthand.  Teams travel to Makutano to visit and work with Village Project Africa through out the year.  Once it is prudent to travel, if you have a group, we can help you organize your trip from the time you arrive in Nairobi.  We can accommodate 12 guests or more. Generally a trip can look like this.

• Arrive at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport
• Stay at a western style hotel near the airport if desired, or travel directly to Eldoret.
• Take a short domestic flight to Eldoret.
• Be met at the Eldoret arrival gate by a VPA representative (return trip also provided.)
• Drive to the village (about one hour) and settle into the guest quarters in a gated family compound.
• Spend your days at the school or clinic, bringing a simple packed lunch.  Visit nearby homes and the farm.
• Eat all other meals at the family compound (mostly American-style meals.) One dinner with students and staff at the high school is possible, rain permitting.
• A safari can be arranged and is recommended at least once.  A travel agent well-known to us can make reservations for you.
• $30 per night per person in the village provides food, bottled water, village transportation, and WIFI. It also helps us maintain the facility and pays for our wonderful assistants.

• We will also help you with the following:

  • your selections for international travel
  • your domestic (Kenya) flight reservations
  • your hotel reservation
  • your safari reservation
  • your travel authorization (similar to visa)

  We are planning a VPA escorted trip June 12-20, 2024. If you are interested in traveling with our group, please contact us.  For more information, or if you have your own group or family who would like to visit, call or text us at 317.572.8728 or email us at info@villageprojectafrica.org.  We’d love to have you!
