Participate in a truly ‘Out Of Africa’ experience. Your journey begins in quaint villages outside of Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa, second largest in the world, and the main reservoir of the Nile River. Midway through the trip you will enjoy a one-day safari. See the abundant wildlife first hand that has made Kenya the leader for adventure wildlife seekers and renowned photographers. In this place like no other, you will have the opportunity to see up close the world’s most amazing animals. On your safari you will witness the harmony of numerous species of wildlife rarely found in any large quantity anywhere but Kenya. For the last part of the trip you will be able to bring needed aid to those living in disadvantaged situations like the slum (where 800,000 people live in one square mile), and orphanages. The shining faces or children will fill with delight upon your arrival as you bring much needed care to those without access to medical attention. Venture into their hearts and experience the rich Kenyan culture while caring for them and bringing them hope and inspiration. This premier opportunity will allow volunteers to see every facet of life that Kenya has to offer from the orphanages and informal settlements to the villages and game parks. Extend your stay for an opportunity to go deep into one of the famous game reserves.

For a country of its size, Kenya is certainly a microcosm with mountains and deserts, colorful tribal lineages and orphanages, cities and informal settlements, and some of Africa’s best wildlife attractions. It has stunning landscapes that set each scene. Its rich and unique culture is attributed to the Kenyan people, all of whom are uniquely identified with their own particular tribe, yet 98% are Africans by heritage.
