July 18: You will begin the Adventure for a Cause as you touch down in Nairobi. We will be ready to whisk you away from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to the serene Jacaranda Hotel.

July 19: We will drive south to the paradise that is Hunter’s Lodge. Nestled amidst the lush gardens of Kiboko Springs, the lodge is home to over 100 species of birds - an ornithologist’s dream come true!  

July 20: The team will embark on an exhilarating hike up Mt. Mielu, an extinct volcano that promises panoramic vistas, and maybe even a glimpse of majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro. After the climb, continue your journey to Makindu, where a heartwarming welcome and delicious lunch await at the Makindu Children's Centre (MCC).  We will complete the day with a vegetarian dinner at the historic Sikh Temple in Makindu and retire at Hunter's Lodge.

July 21: We will travel back to the MCC to engage in meaningful service projects at the Centre with the children, guardians, and staff members - which will only strengthen newly found friendships. The projects could involve painting, working in the shamba (garden), or even building benches. Lunch will be served at the MCC.  The team will end the day with dinner and relaxation at Hunters Lodge.

July 22: A group of the MCC children will accompany us to experience the untamed beauty of Tsavo West National Game Park, one of Kenya's esteemed elephant reserves link.   Delight in a buffet lunch at the Kilaguni Game Lodge with the children and return to Hunters Lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
