I had an amazing time with the farm! Both she and Etienne made me feel very welcomed and at home from day one. All the animals on the yard is taken care of really good and they are absolute sweethearts. Deb is very easy going and flexible so I got to experience the things I wanted to in Kenya, their house is also located in a gorgeous wildlife area so everyday is like a mini safari. Overall an absolutely amazing experience, thank you Deb and Etienne for two amazing months.

I had a great 2 months in Kenya. The days I spent working with the horses were great, also had lots of free time during the day to go around and explore. The horses are very sweet and well taken care of, as the rest of the animals on the yard. the farm is very flexible and helpful when it comes to arranging activities on your free time. I had the best time seeing different places in Kenya and got to meet a lot of people during my trip!

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!!
