Kenya Gap Year

A gap year spent in Kenya will be of extreme contrast and adventure. Mountains, deserts, grasslands, beaches, coral reefs, colourful tribal culture and some of Africa's best wildlife National Parks all await the intrepid gap year traveler.

Climb Mt Kenya, safari across the rolling grasslands of the Masaai Mara and Rift Valley, scuba dive in the Indian Ocean.

It is an easy and welcoming country to gap year through with plenty of opportunities to step off the tourist trail. Our gap year projects are based in and around Tsavo National Park and at Diani Beach on the Indian Ocean.
