See the world. Make it better.
Authentic journeys that change lives — yours and theirs.
At Routes for Good, we bring people together.
We connect local guides and their communities in Northern Kenya with travellers who want more than a typical trip — those who long to step into authentic communities, be welcomed into local life, and experience everyday moments as they unfold.
Our journeys are built on the principles of sustainable, community-based tourism, ensuring that every experience supports local livelihoods, protects cultural traditions, and creates genuine human connections.
Our mission
We believe travel has the power to transform — to open hearts, bridge cultures, and help make our world a better place.
We aid
our partners who are paid fairly and transparently, receiving 100% of the fee they set for their services.
We support
local communities and the environment by making responsible choices in where we stay, what we eat, the activities we join, and the purchases we make along the way.
We share
knowledge and raise awareness about the social and environmental challenges faced by the places we visit — while actively contributing to solutions.
We promote
an authentic, responsible, and sustainable way of travelling — one that contributes positively to the growth and well-being of the destinations we visit.

Why travel with us
Your money stays local
At Routes for Good, our trips are designed so that 100% of what you pay for services goes directly to the people we work with — supporting them, their families, and their communities.
Travel Like a Friend, Not a Tourist
you don’t just visit — you’re welcomed in. Your companion is not a typical tour guide, but a local host who opens the door to his land, his people, and his way of life. He’ll walk you through landscapes he knows by heart, share stories only locals hold, and introduce you to friends and family who will greet you as one of their own. No two journeys are ever the same — ceremonies, gatherings, and everyday moments may weave themselves into your days, making each experience as alive and unique as the place itself.
Supporting People & Protecting Nature
We choose eco-friendly, sustainable places to stay — run by people who care for the land as much as we do. We work with women’s cooperatives and community groups, and we visit small local initiatives that protect wildlife and empower their communities. Every stop on your journey is a step toward a more sustainable and equitable future for Northern Kenya.
Genuine connections that last
On our journeys, you’ll spend time in remote communities, not just passing through, but becoming part of their daily life. You’ll share moments, stories, and traditions, experiencing culture and customs in their most authentic form — not as an observer, but as a welcomed guest.
Beyond the beaten path
Our trips take you well beyond the paths of mass tourism, into places where the pace slows and the welcome is warm. You’ll explore hidden landscapes, share moments with local communities, and experience Northern Kenya in a way that’s untouched, unhurried, and deeply authentic.

TESTIMONIALS
Previous travelers and our current friends, share a few words about their most authentic travel experience!
A journey that will definitely mark you, that will make you see your life differently, that will touch you.
Several times I wondered if what I was living was real. It was probably the first time, where what I experienced exceeded the expectations I had before the trip.
Thodoris Karaoulanis
The trip was magical! It was a shock in multiple levels... culturally, socially, sensorially. Our contact with nature was direct, as we stayed in beautiful camps. Our interaction with the local tribes, through wonderful Joseph, was authentic. This is a trip that could never be organized by a mainstream travel agency nor by solo travelers.
Persronally, I feel I participated in a National Geographic mission!!!
Maria Koutsoubou
There in the Samburu Region, at night, under the sparkling sky, in the absolute silence, you clearly see all that you did not appreciate enough. If you travel with open mind and heart, these routes in Northern Kenya is a unique opportunity for a more “united” world.
Georgina Kartelia
It was indeed a journey in the center of the world, inspired by Eleni and Joseph. A unique experience that you could never have as part of a touristic group or a solo traveler...Enthusiastic and passionate Joseph within only 12 days guided us through his amazing land and its unique people. A lifetime experience...
Dionysia Tzovandaropoulou
A trip to a different world!
A world that we know it exists, but it is more impactful when you see it with your own eyes; see how these people live with the bare minimum or even less, however they still have a big smile in their faces!
I really admire Eleni’s and Joseph’s passion and vision for Routes for good and hope to be part of this amazing experience again in the future 🙂

Words are so difficult to describe this trip… You feel like you travel at the centre of the earth. It's an existential journey where you remember what really matters. Amazing sceneries at Turkana Lake. Our guide Joseph from Samburu tribe showed us all the hidden beauties and made this experience an immersion into the local culture. And most of all we made a new good friend. I will never forget the songs of the children from El Molo tribe. This trip is a journey to your roots. Discover your "roots" for good. Responsible travel without mediators. The whole experience is the real thing; it's a feeling, the core.

Older travelers and our current friends, share a few words about their experience!
A trip to Madagascar turned out to be an unforgettable travelling experience. On one hand there was this magnificent island with its unparalleled beauty landscapes and its wonderful people and on the other hand there was Fabrice, a stunning, charismatic tour guide, highly knowledgeable and above everything an amazing, warm person. I highly recommend an authentic adventure in enchanting Madagascar with Fabrice as tour guide! It will be a guaranteed unique and unforgettable experience!

We went on a family trip to Madagascar and we had the best time ever with our tour guide Fabrice. He has a great personality, very funny, very competent and a great company. He has attention to detail to make sure that he could provide anything we might need. There is always solution to a problem. We had a very good time in the car, singing and laughing. During thoses 2 weeks a deep friendship was develop and Fabrice will forever hold a special place in our heart.
