An ecovolunteer's report: Margot, 24 years old

Wonderful experience, beautiful trip, if you like to discover and observe monkeys and birds families living in the property. But also to take care of farm animals, and to go and discover the Kenyan countryside and inhabitants.
I really appreciated to stay in a not very touristic region of Kenya, favouring encounters and exchanges with the local population in the countryside, and in the small village of Subukia.
Regarding Muringa Farm, it is a small paradise full of history, with a very low impact on the environment,
managed by a very kind and friendly team.

The farm is situated close to big towns like Nakuru (4th town of the country), where there is a very beautiful national park. The eco-volunteering programme is rich and open. I had the opportunity to observe the colobus and sykes monkeys, to participate in the inventory of numerous birds, or to go for a walk with the horses and the donkeys as well.

But also to do some trekking up to two view points, and visit a Kenyan family, share their lunch and a cup of tea with them!
Without forgetting all the informations regarding the trees (identification and medicinal uses) and the swahili courses!

Then, the icing on the cake, I had the opportunity to go to the Masai Mara for three days. The park is really amazing and there also, the lanscape is so beautiful and the wildlife so unbelievable that it is unforgettable.

Thank you Astrid, Erick, Korir, and all the team for this unforgettable stay!
Hope to see you again soon!
