Trip Highlights

Your "Taste of Volunteering" Project

Environmental and Village based Projects. Assist with painting a classroom in this endearing, impoverished community. Help with tree planting, or with other activities as required at the time of your stay. These activities include teaching, helping lay water pipes, helping build a classroom, or a similar project. The warmth of these people will forever change you.

Trip Summary

Upon arrival in Nairobi,  you are whisked away to Amboseli National Park in time for an evening game drive  and your first chance to spot the ‘Big 5’. You have two days at this beautiful park, with views of Mt Kilimanjaro.

The next stop is Tsavo East Game Park, where you are based in indigenous community, and after more game drives you begin our volunteering and meaningful interaction with our wonderful hosts. Work alongside the local people planting trees or doing other village based projects as required by the community.

On the 10th day you head back to Nairobi to break up your journey en route to the Maasai Mara, where six exciting game drives await.
