What Sets Us Apart
With The Leap, you will spend your gap year or career break experiencing our unique mix of conservation, eco-tourism and community projects located all over the country, providing you with a varied, exciting and above all rewarding gap year adventure overseas.
Our eco-tourism opportunities involve working in exclusive safari camps and jungle eco-lodges: spend your gap year or career break escorting guests on safari, helping rangers track wildlife or riding horses amongst Africa’s amazing wildlife
Spend time on your gap year or career break experiencing a variety of community projects that could involve teaching English and sport to local kids in Borneo or refurbishing classrooms & building fresh water systems in remote villages in Cambodia.
Experience our unique and valued conservation projects on your gap year or career break helping to rehabilitate injured game and endangered species, assisting on anti-poaching programmes in South Africa or helping to protect the rainforests of Venezuela.
For example: In our Kenya Team gap year placement you can start your day studying herds of elephants in the bush, before teaching classrooms of African toddlers in the afternoon, before kite surfing in the evening.
On our Tanzania Team gap year your time is split between the beach and the bush, whilst on our Ecuador gap year placement you’ll travel from the coast to the Andes.
So if you’re dreaming of a gap year or career break full of adventure, variety and fulfilment then you’re in the right place…
