See the impact of your support during a trip to Kenya
We invite you to join us on an exclusive small group tour into the heart of Kenya in a unique pairing – AMPATH and safari!
You will experience the powerful impact of the AMPATH partnership on the health of Kenyans and the wonder of Kenyan wildlife.
You will begin the tour in Nairobi, your home for the next two nights. Here you will visit the Giraffe Center, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage and Cultiva Farm Kenya. Next you’ll travel by plane to Amboseli National Park, known as “Home of the African Elephant” and enjoy multiple game drives.
And then you’ll fly to Eldoret, AMPATH’s home base in western Kenya to see how healthcare is being delivered at care centers and in rural communities. You’ll tour Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital which serves 24 million people in western Kenya, experiencing the HIV program, Riley Mother Baby Hospital, Chandaria Cancer and Chronic Diseases Centre, mental health program among others which serve people with the greatest of need. The AMPATH partnership is building the system of healthcare and changing lives. Your life too will be changed once you see firsthand your impact.
Your last stop will be the spectacular Masai Mara—home to lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, hippos and more, for multiple game drives.
Camili Safaris, a private tour company, is partnering with AMPATH for this Kenya experience. Marcel Owino, founder of Camili Safaris, has planned tours for groups of all sizes with exceptional planning and reliability – including many friends of AMPATH.
Space is limited to only 10 people. The June 2025 trip is full, but we are happy to add you to a waitlist in the event of any cancellations. We are now accepting reservations for a trip in June 2026 (dates TBD).

“I never imagined I’d travel so far and yet be made to feel so at home. Our time at AMPATH is something we cherish: neither Emily or I, nor my daughter Maggie, had any idea how moving and inspiring our experiences with you would be.”
- Philip, 2024 traveler to AMPATH
“Visiting Eldoret, Kenya, and seeing the work AMPATH does convinced me beyond any question that this is IU at its best!! Better than men’s basketball, better than football, better and more important than anything IU does! And yet too few people know about it. Once you see it up close and personal, you will understand. Add to that a chance to go on safari and this will be the trip of a lifetime!”
