Staying with the farm for 3 months was the best experience of my life. Going back home didn't quite feel like going *home* and I can't wait to come back to Kenya. the farm is a lovely person, extremely welcoming, made me feel at home very quickly - it was my first solo trip like this and I was quite nervous at first which went away immediately - and I always had everything I needed. I got to do many fun things and Deb was always flexible about it and made sure I got to experience Kenya like I wanted to. The horses are amazing, the farm is dreamy, and you're in the midst of the savannah!!

I had the best time staying with the farm for two months. She is so hospitable and welcoming, I felt right at home. I was so relaxed and had the most peaceful time helping where I could and riding horses. An absolute dream!! I was also able to explore more of Kenya and the farm was super helpful and made sure I had a great experience and explored other beautiful parts of the country. I would recommend this to anyone as I know they would also have the great time I had. I'll miss it all so much!!

I had the most wonderful experience with the farm! She was incredibly lovely and the hospitality was truly outstanding. Also her partner Etienne, who's only there frequently ensured at all times I had a wonderful stay. They went the extra mile by asking me about my grocery preferences, ensuring that I had everything I needed. It made me feel right at home and very welcomed and thought of. My schedule was very flexible, which also allowed me to enjoy plenty of free time during my stay, I also met a lot of locals and I was incorporated into their daily life. Horses were so lovely! 10/10
