Kenya Legacy Expedition
A Journey of Adventure, Discovery, and Legacy Building in Kenya in 2025
Kenya 2025 Legacy Expedition
Feb. 5 - Feb. 14, 2025
We Have a Future to Craft Together
In Winter 2025, Legado is bringing six supporters to the Mathews Mountain Range in Kenya for a once-in-a-lifetime journey to create legacies with the Samburu people who steward of one of world’s most biodiverse mountain ecosystems.
Join us on a journey of adventure and creation. The trip combines working with the Samburu people of the Ngilai Community to create their legacies for a Thriving Future with adventures like hiking and safari game drives in the land of rhinos and elephants.
This journey culminates with a chance to take part in Legado’s signature Legacy Planning process. As a Legado Champion, you will support 360° Community-Led Change alongside community members around priorities that advance stronger livelihoods, healthier forests, gender equity, and more—leading to Thriving Futures for all.
Expedition Details
Our trip begins with a quick overnight in Nairobi before we fly the next morning to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, where we enjoy deluxe accommodations, wonderful food, and access to all of Lewa’s rich wildlife and recreation opportunities. We spend two nights in Lewa exploring the area by foot and on game drives before we travel north.
The second portion of our journey takes place in Samburu County in the heart of the Matthews Range, one of the largest remaining tracts of forest in Northern Kenya and home to Legado's partnership with the communities of Ngilai.
Once we are in Samburu County, you and other Legado Champions will jump in and help support Legado’s signature legacy programming with 100+ Samburu community participants as they craft their Thriving Future. Each champion contributes in different ways, from co-hosting a youth session on how to maintain the Samburu culture and end female genital mutilation, to helping facilitate a women’s discussion about micro-business opportunities, drawing flip charts in English and Samburu, welcoming and thanking participants, and more. You are truly one of our team as we all work to create an inclusive, dynamic, and fruitful Legacy program.
Our time also includes hiking and exploring the Matthews Range and foothills. We end our journey with a flight out of nearby Samburu airport either back to Nairobi or to another destination of your choice.

Legado + You in 2025
Legacy expeditions are an incredible way to activate your own legacy by advancing a world where Indigenous and local peoples are the drivers of change—for their people, their culture, and their landscapes.
Trips can be adapted to match different activity levels and interests.
Join us to support the Samburu communities to create their vision and initiate actions for a Thriving Future for their people and mountains during our Kenya Legacy Expedition.
Please note: Legacy trips are intended for those inside Legado’s giving community and are committed to advancing 360° Community-Led Change. We also welcome participants who are new to Legado and wish to join one of our Legacy trips as a way to launch our shared relationship in support of Thriving Futures.
“My experience traveling to Mount Namuli and working with Legado was exceptional. The participants in our three-day workshop ranged from community members, to agricultural specialists, to Ministry Officials. This area of the planet is more beautiful than anywhere I’ve traveled, and I’d be thrilled for another opportunity to walk under the open sky of Mozambique. Majka’s style of leadership includes self-discovery, autonomy, and movement. I came away from my trip to Mount Namuli a transformed person and more able to be in service of my own community.“
Your Contribution
Each trip participant will commit to a tax-receiptable investment of $12,000 USD to cover trip costs and help expand the scope and reach of Legado’s work around the world. A 50% deposit of $6,000 holds your spot and a final matching donation of $6,000 is due October 1st.
