4. Rather than approx USD70 to go by road (250kms and 5/6 hours) you can fly (45mins) for USD118 (one way) with AirKenya. Unfortunately 540 Airlines do not currently fly to the Mara.
This transfer cost is additional to the safari price quoted in the itinerary.
5. Our Food, Our World, Oxfam’s latest resource for teachers, introduces five children from around the world, and uses the food they eat to explore their lives. By focusing on similarities between the children, the pack helps to build global awareness and empathy with others, and also assists in challenging stereotypes.
Ideal for pupils aged 5-9, the pack covers issues such as food production, food transport, and healthy food. It contains a 64pp teachers’ booklet, 32 full-colour photocards, a CD-ROM, and a colourful A1 poster.
Teachers can also access free online materials (lesson plans, case studies, and photographs) on Cool Planet: http://www.oxfam.org.uk/coolplanet/teachers/ofow . To receive a free poster featuring all five children, email your details (name, address, and job role) to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Our Food, Our World can be ordered from Oxfam’s Catalogue for Schools, or through the pages on Cool Planet.
