MIDLIFE Programme
Leap to Kenya
marine conservation + community development + safari
Yes, this is a holiday but one with purpose, connection, and adventure built in. Over 10-days in Kenya, you’ll unwind on the coast, contribute to meaningful community and conservation projects, and go on safari in one of Africa’s great national parks. It’s a chance to rest, reset, and reconnect.
Picture this: waking up to the gentle rhythm of the Indian Ocean, sunlight filtering through palm trees, and the day ahead holding more than just relaxation, it holds meaning. From snorkelling over coral gardens in the Kuruwitu Lagoon, helping to restore vital marine ecosystems, to assisting local elders with water collection or chatting with schoolchildren on their way home, every experience offers a deeper connection to the place and its people.
But it’s not all action. There’s time to slow down, breathe in the sea air, and truly be, surrounded by a community that welcomes you with warmth and curiosity.
Midway through the journey, the landscape shifts as you head inland to Tsavo East National Park. Here, guided by a local conservation expert, you’ll witness elephants moving through dust-red earth, lions silhouetted against golden skies, and the raw beauty of the African wild. It’s awe-inspiring, and grounding. This is what makes the Kenya Midlife Leap so unique. It’s not just travel for the sake of escape. It’s a journey that feeds your spirit, connects you to others, and quietly changes how you see the world.

Our reviews speak for themselves
The trip exceeded my expectations. I felt we had the chance to give something to the local communities as well as have some fun.”
Having never had a gap year, been camping, been away without family, been to Africa or known anyone on the trip beforehand I was taking a big Leap into the unknown…..and I LOVED every minute. It was a wonderful and unique experience.”
It was a privilege to be part of the group and I am so grateful that Claire asked me to join you all on the adventure, but more importantly the planning that you (very specifically) and your team put into the trip made it so special. Your dedication and hard work, together with your amazing team made the trip most memorable.”
