6 days · By road and air · Igoji, Meru National Park
Homestay · the director’s farm
A personal stay in Accessible Travel Kenya’s director’s rural home in Igoji, on the green eastern slopes of Mount Kenya. Live the farm day with the family: milk the cows, tend the sheep, work the garden, drink milk fresh from the morning milking, then finish with two days in wild Meru National Park.
The signature moment: Sundowners by a Meru river after three days as part of a Kenyan farming family.
