Kenya

Kenya is a land of diversity with snow-capped mountains, tropical rainforest and savannah.

Take a gap year in Kenya for volunteer work abroad. The Kenya travel programmes we offer are diverse. You can get involved in community projects, Kenya volunteer work with children and wildlife conservation. We also offer sports adventure programmes and Kenya expeditions for those looking to do something a bit more active during their time in Kenya.

Kenya


	Kenya Community Development Busia

Help relieve the crippling effect of AIDS on the Kenyan district of Busia. Projects include supporting the older orphans who are left to look after their siblings, improving sanitation and running vocational schemes.


	Kenya Community Outreach

Help provide AIDS victims with food, shelter, emotional support, education and increased awareness of the disease. Children who have lost their parents to AIDS are given the chance of a better future through this programme.


	Kenya Gap Experience

Experience life in Kenya from the inside with the Kenya Gap Experience. It includes community work, a wildlife safari, a snorkelling excursion, visits to Diani, beach parties – and an overwhelming sense of achievement.


	Kenya Maasai and Wildlife Volunteer

Take part in two wildlife projects against two stunning backdrops. You’ll carry out work to help protect big cats in the shadow of Mt Kilimanjaro and monitor elephants on the Maasai ranches in a truly back-to-nature experience.


	Kenya Maasai Expedition

Experience raw Africa through the plains of Kenya. You’ll cross its breathtaking landscapes by camel, visit nomadic cultures, help refurbish a village school and see a colourful array of wildlife.


	Kenya Medical and Community Programme

Volunteers with medical qualifications assist in hospitals while those that don’t are just as valuable in the orphanages. Plus, you’ll be involved in tough but very rewarding work to improve life in Nairobi slums.


	Kenya Orphanage and Community Outreach

Huge amounts of emotional and practical support are needed in Kenya. You can get involved in two of these projects – bringing new ideas to an orphanage and taking relief supplies to poverty-stricken families.


	Kenya Sports and Teaching Programme

Immerse yourself in a very different, very welcoming but very poor community and help with academic lessons and sports coaching. Perfect for people wanting to put their interest in a range of sports towards a worthwhile use.


	Kenya to Uganda Expedition

Take an overland trip from Nairobi, through the fauna-rich Lake Naivasha National Park and into Uganda. There, you’ll help build essential village facilities before returning to Kenya and setting up camp in Big Five territory.
