Demand is won by repetition, trust and visibility.

One-off campaigns fade. An always-on presence, in every season and every market, is how a destination becomes a first choice.

Where it started

Twenty years of educational diplomacy

Raised in Nyanchonori village in southwestern Kenya, Dr. David Angwenyi came to the United States in 1994, worked in pharmaceutical drug development, earned a master's in science education and has taught at Hopewell Valley Central High School since 2004. In 2007 he started an educational diplomacy program that brings American students to his home village for service learning. His Ph.D. in educational leadership studied what short-term student travel actually changes. That program grew into GCK Travel, and GCK's work now continues here as Kenya Experience. Recognition includes the Top 100 Visionaries in Education award (GFEL, 2021), StartUpAfrica's Entrepreneur of the Year (2018) and a Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms award (2012).
