Volunteer Travel in Kenya
Kenya is indisputably the most famous safari destination in the world, being the home of an amazing array of rare and exciting wildlife including buffaloes, rhinoceroses, lions, leopards and elephants. Volunteering here would seem incomplete without visiting the legendary Maasai Mara Game Reserve where, with a little luck and timing, you could witness the phenomenal sight of the annual mass migration of the wildebeests.
Yet Kenya has a lot more to offer than just fantastic fauna; with stunning and varied landscapes from bush-covered plains to gorgeous beaches, dense forests to shimmering deserts. With the renowned Lake Victoria, the moon-like, soda-covered Lake Magadi, the Great Rift Valley and Mount Kenya; Kenya overflows with captivating scenery for anyone seeking volunteer travel. Nairobi is a thriving capital city with a compact, yet burgeoning central business district; but, for the more anthropologically-minded volunteer, rural villages offer a fascinating insight into Swahili culture, with the romantic town of Lamu giving you a taste of old Kenya unchanged for centuries.
