Kenya Gap Year Programme: Marine + Community + Safari

If you're seeking a cultural hit combined with crystal clear Indian ocean, and the wildlife strewn dusty planes then this gritty programme in Kenya will deliver. Here you will find yourself living right on the edge of the Indian Ocean, near the hip little town of Kilifi. Picture the whitest of sand, warm tropical water, turtles, migrating humpback whales, dolphins and more than 500 species of tropical fish and corals on tap. Utterly stunning.

Our plan is for you to live the African dream whilst supporting a pioneering marine conservation project which needs your help to research and rebuild coral reefs, encourage the fishing families to stop over fishing, teach kids about conserving their environment, and help develop local housing and other income generating schemes.

At the same time, you will head off on safari, play volleyball on the beach, have many an African sundowner, and cruise along the river on a majestic dhow.
