Ocean
It is no mistake that the majority of our camps are located on or near the coast. The Indian Ocean and beaches are among the most spectacular in the world and feature in nearly all our itineraries.
We do water sports in a big way and collectively have over 20 years experience running scuba diving operations in Kenya. We organise everything from a quick try dive to career courses as either an addition or integral part of a trip.
It has been a slog, but every year our marine conservation programme grows and with it our achievements in helping to conserve the coral reefs.
Simple beach clean-ups achieve an enormous amount and go a long way to educate the future generations of Kenya as to the real value of their marine eco-system.
The social element of our programmes is something we also pride ourselves on and believe strongly in the work hard play hard ethos.
There is no backdrop that competes with an Indian Ocean beach at low tide with a warm breeze and clear skies.
Ocean Projects
Mwamba - Marine Conservation Programme
The natural resources have provided livelihoods for local communities for hundreds of years and more recently have supported a major tourism industry. At present, much of this area is under 'Reserve' status, meaning there is a combination of environmental protection with controlled use of the natural resources. However, Kenya has been unable to give adequate emphasis to the development of its marine and coastal environments, although this contributes significantly to its national economy. Read More...
Mantanani Island
The Mantanani Islands lay several hours boat ride off the coast of western Sabah and are home to a wide variety of marine life including turtles and dugongs as well as reefs and associated eco-systems. The community is approximately 800 people who are from the Bajau ethnic group and are predominantly Muslim. Facilities on the island are poor with the community making a small income from selling fish on the mainland. Due to the remoteness and lack of facilities on the island there are a number of human environmental issues affecting the surrounding marine eco system... Read More

I loved the place, the people, the food - I know how to make Chapattis! I am now a qualified open water diver, and wow was that good - saw 2 humpback whales, 5 dolphins, and 2 turtles, as well as a blow fish - he was amusing! The community are amazing, so welcoming and the kids just waved every time they saw us. But nothing can beat the friends I made out there. I got on the plane to Kenya scared and worried that I wouldn't get on with anyone. By the end, I didn't want to leave Kenya. I’ve made a group of friends who I know I will see back in the UK; the Camp Kenya family. Thank you so much! You guys are fantastic! I've had the best experience of my life, and it's changed my perspective of so many things - I now want to go back to do the next part on my diving... I want to eventually become an instructor!!!
