Its a wrap for KASIGAU BOOTCAMP.

Clearly Taita taveta is more than the Tsavo parks. A rich history of World War 1&2 is hidden in the hills and valleys of the region, backed back rich culture.

The learnings have been deep, networks have been established, lessons and insights shared around campfires and heritage explored

The message from the stta young change leaders is clear, travel to learn: learn to sustain.

We celebrate the young change leaders for their courage to explore differently and learn

We look forward to hosting more young change leaders soon.

STTA Immersive Learning Bootcamp is Back - 2026! Register NOW!!

We welcome you to take part in our upcoming immersive bootcamp with the Kasigau cultural community in collaboration with Asaray Tours.

The Sustainable Travel & Tourism Africa (STTA) Bootcamp series was started in 2019 as an alternative learning space where we engage the participant in real life tourism products and they get to not only tour and passively learn about these places, but also get hands on with practical participatory activities and direct interaction with the present communities. The participant is allowed to get honest experiences and responses outside the regular narratives from destination planners and tour operators.

We have visited the following places in the last few years:

Red Rocks Rwanda, Nyakinama, Rwanda
Emboo Camp, Maasai Mara National Reserve, Masai Mara, Kenya
Shimoni, Kwale, Kenya - in partnership with REEFolution

Our upcoming bootcamp will be with the Kasigau cultural community in collaboration with Asaray Tours. This bootcamp will offer insights into community engagement, cultural interaction, women's empowerment models in tourism, and community conservation. You will get to participate in hands-on activities that benefit the environment, trek Mount Kasigau, and learn about the region's history for an inspiring adventure.

When: August 24th - 28th, 2026
Venue: Kasigau, Voi, Kenya
Registration Deadline: 19th August 2026

We have successfully concluded a review of consultations for a community economic partnership project and presented report at a community assembly.

Pre implementation audits of community empowerment programs are critical for derisking any community partnership

Every community is unique and deserves to be consulted and engaged in ways that do not violate free prior informed consent for projects.

In our approach we structure community consultation into 7 phases, enabling us to listen and listen more before decoding conversations into models.

When we audit community engagement in Sustainable Tourism we a compliance barometer aligned to the 7 areas to ensure consent was not coerced or manipulated.

This International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples 2026, the world is "Honouring Indigenous Midwives: Safeguarding Life and Well-being."

And in Kenya, this isn't just a theme. It's a living reality.

For generations, Indigenous midwives have been:
✅ The first hands to hold a newborn.
✅ The keepers of herbal knowledge for maternal health.
✅ The bridge between traditional wisdom and community well-being.
✅ The guardians of birthing practices that respect both mother and earth.

Yet their knowledge is often undervalued. Their practices are dismissed. Their voices are excluded from health policy decisions.

Here's how YOU can honour Indigenous midwives:

✅ Learn about the Indigenous communities in your region and their traditional health practices.
✅ Listen to Indigenous women—their knowledge is medicine.
✅ Support organisations that work with Indigenous communities to document and protect traditional knowledge.
✅ Advocate for the inclusion of Indigenous midwives in health systems.

Every birth is a story. Every midwife is a keeper of life.

Honour our midwives. Honour our heritage. Honour our Kenya.

We have simplified Sustainable Tourism accountability through a toolkit on getting started with sustainability.

Staying compliant with emerging sustainability accountability legislation requires few simple steps, before the measurement and reporting. What's important is getting started.

Talk to us for a toolkit on getting started with sustainable tourism systems for tour operators, hotel/lodge and camp operators as well as MICE venues

Day 2 in Laikipia, Lekurruki

Listening skills can minimize risks in community partnerships for sustainable development of tourism

Top of our proud moments is when we stand with communities in their quest for innovative tourism and conservation models that listen to their lived and long term aspirations.

This involves hosting community roundtables where we undertake joint reviews guided by a set of principles. We don't just look at outputs of engagements like minutes or contracts, but processes involved in the design of the model and how outputs were derived.

This week Judy Kepher-Gona is on a listening mission, hosting community roundtables with primary stakeholders to review processes for a proposed tourism and conservation model
