Our Camps

 

The whole idea behind the business was to build and lease accommodation in the heart of the communities and wildlife reserves with whom we work. It is a concept that has worked well beyond our expectations and we now have a range of locations that we use throughout the year depending on seasonality.

 

Our Camps

 

At the heart of the Africa operation is our Kenya office, which provides round the clock communications, vehicle servicing, food supplies, stores, security and operational support. For transport we use a mix of minibuses, coaches and our prized Bedford Truck conversions.

 

 

Accommodation ranges from luxury tents with en-suite to a simple dome tent in the bush or on the side of a mountain. Unless being uncomfortable is part of the plan, we provide you with comfortable accommodation in keeping with the surrounding environment wherever you stay.

 

It is the responsibility of our incredible kitchen teams to keep you well fed and watered throughout your stay. The kitchen always acts as the heart of any camp and our staff work extremely hard to consistently create a great standard of food for most dietary requirements, regardless of power cuts, monsoon rains and supply trucks breaking down.

 

Most itineraries will involve you staying in several of our locations as each place has a purpose which is to either support community or wildlife projects, give you a place to chill on the beach, or act as home for your safari.

 

 

 

 

Testimonial
Volunteer Holidays AfricaMost of all I felt humbled at the generosity, dignity and hospitality that I found in and from the people around the project where I worked. These are people who have very little materially and work very hard to make ends meet and yet there is a joy and a friendliness that it is hard to find in my home environment in London.Volunteer Holidays Africa
