Kenyans in the U.S.. Updated November 2026. 3 min read.
Kenyans in the U.S. already travel in groups: the chama that has saved together for years, the church that wants to see where its members come from, the alumni association planning a reunion at home. The hard part is never the idea. It is collecting money, chasing people for payments and keeping track of who is actually coming.
How it works with us
- The organizer picks a trip and starts a group in a minute at kenyaexperience.org/groups/new
- They get one link to share in the WhatsApp group, the bulletin or the next meeting
- Every member books their own place through that link and pays their own way, in full or in equal monthly payments
- The organizer sees on a private page who has joined, who has paid in full and who is on a plan
- Nobody collects or holds anyone else's money
Because each person pays Kenya Experience directly by card, every member gets their own receipt and their own booking, and the organizer is never out of pocket when someone drops out.
What a group trip looks like
Most groups combine three things: time with the community or partner church, a safari, and a few days on the coast. A typical ten-day trip spends two nights in Nairobi, three in the Maasai Mara, one at Lake Nakuru or Naivasha and three at Diani or Watamu. Faith groups often add a joint service, a visit to a partner school, or a service project chosen by the community.
A word on service
We do not take groups to orphanages. Short visits to children's homes do more harm than good, and Kenya is moving children into family care. We work with schools, farms and community projects that have asked for help, and we tell you exactly where your group's time goes.
The organizer's place
Organizing a group is real work. Once enough travelers in your group are paying, we can give the organizer a free place or money off their own booking. We agree the number with you when the group starts.
Timeline
- 9 to 12 months out: choose dates and the trip; start the group
- 6 to 9 months: members book and start monthly plans
- 3 months: passports checked, eTAs and vaccines
- 1 month: final payments are complete; pre-departure call for the whole group
- Departure: we meet you in Nairobi
