Volunteer Work in Kenya

Kenya is Africa’s quintessential safari destination. In Kenya's native Swahili, the word Safari translates to ‘journey’.... the land that inspired some of Ernest Hemingway's greatest classics. A visit to this East African destination offers the best in wildlife, Masai and Samburu culture and community volunteering and wildlife volunteering experiences.

Volunteering in Kenya | Working Holiday

Kenya is the ideal all-in-one working holiday and volunteer option as it proudly boasts sun and sea on its beautiful unspoilt beaches and warm tropical waters, and prime savannah in it’s carefully protected wildlife reserves.

The famous Masai Mara National Reserve is really the jewel in Kenya’s crown, and our volunteer project in the Masai Mara offers you a fascinating insight into both Masai culture and the picturesque wildlife-filled plains of the Mara that take centre stage. The reserve remains unfenced even today, and the border to the south stretches through the endless plains of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The Mara-Serengeti plains play host twice a year to the glorious rumble of hoofbeats of tens of thousands of animals as the Great Migration moves through their grasslands.

Lake Naivasha is an unusual gem amongst the surrounding area that is dotted with soda lates, as her waters are clean and fresh. The charming Naivasha is home to over 400 birds species as well as a large number of hippo.

Travel further north and more magnificent safari options stretch out before you. You will find the saline, flamingo-packed and Lake Nakuru and also Hell’s Gate National Park.

Amboseli National Park is where many tourists venture to take their classic photograph of African wildlife against the breath-taking backdrop of the nearby Mount Kilimanjaro in neighbouring Tanzania.
