Be a Santa to a Senior - Give a gift of cheer :)

The Christmas season is upon us and we are once again teaming up with Tushikamane Pamoja Foundation and the community-at-large to start our campaign - be a Santa to a Senior. In a month's time, a lot of seniors living in poverty and isolation will receive Christmas Cheer and a present from Santa.

The "Be a Santa to a Senior" program, encourages members of the community to purchase gifts for those in need. The program, being launched this month, centres around a bunch of Christmas trees set up at each of the three Rickshaw offices in Dar es salaam.

Client Review

Hi Roselyne, I have been meaning to contact you since we got back to say a massive THANK YOU. Our safari was truly amazing. We got very lucky and had our amazing tour guide Mike to ourselves.

Honestly he is such an asset to your team. He's fun, friendly and a fountain of knowledge when it comes to Kenya. I was sad to say bye to him at the end of the trip. Your support was also great Roselyne so thanks again for all the perfect arrangements you made. Especially the hot air balloon ride. Watching the sunrise over Kenya was a once in a life time experience which I will never forget.

All the hotels were great. The only feedback I gave on your survey form was for the plug sockets to work in the land cruiser and pillows to be provided for those long drives (which was a joke). As Mike pointed out we shouldn't be sleeping. I will definitely be recommending you to friends.

Regards, Sarah Upton
