How will I make a difference?
We have been shortlisted 4 years running for the World Responsible Travel Awards, winning a highly commended award in 2008 for 'best volunteering organisation'. You can expect to spend your stay working on a wide range of initiatives where you really will make a difference. You achieve this by working on a diverse range of local humanitarian, social and environmental projects that we have developed in partnership with the local communities under expert guidance. This gives you the opportunity to make a real difference through your financial and physical contributions. We also hope that you will come away as educated ambassadors for the critical issues facing conservation and community development.
Fantastic, the Kenyans and all the workers were wicked. Very impressed by the organisation. A fantastic trip full of inspirational memories. All the staff and the other gappers were quality! Feel I have so much more confidence to travel and I’m already planning my next trip!
