MIssion Programme

Leap to Kenya

From reef to village to wilderness

On Kenya’s north coast, something special is unfolding - a mission that blends beautiful coastal living with hands-on conservation, where your days are spent alongside Oceans Alive, and your time genuinely contributes to something bigger.

You’ll be based by the ocean, settling into a rhythm that blends purpose with time to properly relax, working on reef restoration and community projects, then slowing down to enjoy life on the Swahili coast.

As the journey unfolds, the landscape shifts as you head inland to Tsavo East National Park for the final few days, out onto the plains, where elephants roam and the scale of it all brings a completely different perspective.Behind the scenes, this is one of East Africa’s most successful community-led conservation stories.

Working with Oceans Alive, Leap teams help restore coral reefs and support coastal communities through practical, hands-on projects, all part of a long-term approach where protecting ecosystems and livelihoods go hand in hand.

This mission continues to evolve, with new teams joining each year.If you’re looking for an experience that contributes as well as inspires, this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Leap Missions run on selected dates for individuals and couples, and can also be arranged privately for families, friends or corporate teams (minimum 8).

Our reviews speak for themselves

“Kenya was extraordinary in every sense of the word.  To see first hand the wonderful work of Oceans Alive NGO in restoring the coral reefs was extraordinary, and to be able to contribute in a small way to this process was amazing.  My particular highlight was cleaning the coral plugs with a tooth brush, while being surrounded by an array of brightly coloured fish eating the algae we were brushing off the coral.  In addition it was a privilege to be welcomed into the local village, see their way of life - pumping water and building jiko stoves - and discuss wishes and hopes with the women.  But, that was not all, we then headed inland and went on safari - fantastic.  We saw so many different animals in their natural habit.  It was my first time on safari and was reliably informed that it would never be that good again.”

“My trip exceeded every one of my high expectations and I spent the most memorable time away with a wonderful group of like minded souls. From the very start, the warm and friendly zoom call to provide more detailed information was a great idea, the fabulous staff that worked with us from Oceans Alive, and Tilda and Des were truly inspirational. As were the wonderful people we met in the villages and I will never forget dancing in the church. The accommodation and food exceeded my expectations and there were truly so many WOW moments, there is not enough time to list them. I think the endorsement is that I would like to replicate this trip with my family and there is not a single thing I would change about the trip. Thank you Milly, it was a leap of faith on my part, but you went over and beyond, to provide us with a magical and unforgettable trip of a lifetime.”

“If I had to say 2 words about this amazing trip it would be “ Say Yes”. You’ll be so glad you did. This trip is enriching, rewarding and JOYFULL.  Its such a happy trip from start to finish and I loved every minute. Milly and her team have a knack of putting people together, and taking care of them with their expertise and enthusiasm. The accommodation both at the beach and Safari was dreamy. The people we met from all walks of life inspiring. This is a perfect blend of volunteering, making a difference, fun, making new friends, and returning back uplifted.  As the saying goes we get back what we put out. And you'll get it back in spadefuls.”
