How will my gap year conservation trip make a difference?

 

We have been shortlisted 4 years running for the World Responsible Travel Awards and you can expect to spend your stay working on a wide range of initiatives where you really will get out what you put in. You achieve this by working on a diverse range of local humanitarian, social and conservation projects that we have developed in partnership with the local communities under expert guidance. This gives you the opportunity to make a real difference during your gap year conservation project work, 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 in Africa.

 

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!!!
