Kenya Break Away Safari
“Come to me, all you who are weary, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
The journey
Nine days that combine Kenya’s great wildlife with rest by the sea. Begin on the edge of Nairobi National Park, fly into the Masai Mara for game drives at sunrise and sundowners around the fire, then fly to the coast for palm-fringed beaches and coral reefs.
Mornings begin with the Word, evenings end in worship, and one day on the coast is spent with a local church, visiting families with food and essentials and sharing the gospel.

What your journey gives
Every seat carries something to share.
Part of every fare buys food parcels, household essentials and Bibles, chosen with the host church for families it already cares for.
We go as guests: no photos without permission, nothing handed out for the camera, and the church keeps caring for every family, and every new believer, after we leave.
