Ready for the trip of a lifetime? Cascade Kitchens is thrilled to host an inspiring evening with Tara Hetz, founder of Mazingira Adventures, on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, from 6:30–8:00 PM.

This special event will introduce guests to two unforgettable 2026 adventure itineraries:

• 🚴 Cycling & trekking through the wild landscapes of Kenya

• 🥾 Exploring the mountain trails of Bulgaria into Greece

But these aren’t just trips—they’re adventures with purpose. Every Mazingira Adventure directly supports local community and conservation projects. From protecting rhinos in Kenya to empowering communities in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria, these journeys give back in meaningful ways while connecting travelers to incredible landscapes and cultures.

Why It Matters

Mazingira means environment in Swahili, and Tara’s work blends travel with conservation impact. By joining these adventures, travelers directly help fund community-led projects that protect wildlife and natural heritage. It’s about more than seeing the world—it’s about engaging with it, supporting it, and leaving a positive footprint.

As Tara says:

“Don’t just travel. Come be active. Come be engaged. Come make a difference!”
