Leap to Kenya

This 4-week Gap Year programme in Kenya is your chance to do something real. You’ll spend a month living and working in a vibrant coastal community—long enough to properly settle in, make genuine connections, and get involved in a wide variety of marine conservation and community development projects.

Each day brings something different. You might start by snorkelling over coral reefs, helping with turtle conservation, or collecting data for marine research. Then you’ll head into the village to build a jiko stove, plant crops in a community garden, or work on water access initiatives.

It's hands-on, varied, and full of purpose—and every project is rooted in local needs and long-term impact. Because you're based in one place, you’ll become part of the local rhythm—joining church services, learning to make mandozas, and getting to know the people behind the projects.

And when it’s time to unwind? Think safari drives, dhow cruises, scuba diving, and beach hangs with your team. You’ll leave Kenya with stories to tell, friendships that stick, and a whole new perspective on what it means to travel with purpose.
