Wildlife
East Africa is home to more than one-quarter of Africa’s wild animals and host to the most famous safari experiences on Earth. The Masai Mara, Tsavo, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater are places that everyone should visit at some stage in life.
It is easy to understand why it is called the birthplace of mankind and not unusual to feel as though you have arrived home when you experience it for the first time.
The word ‘safari’ is Swahili for journey and we include a safari in almost every experience we provide. People travel with us for many reasons, but one shared pleasure is to spend several exhilarating days in the wilderness, watching animals in their natural habitat.
For our volunteer programmes we also have a range of wildlife conservation projects that provide you with a working safari experience ranging from primates to elephants.
It’s a rare pleasure to sit in a vehicle in the middle of the African bush with the engine turned off and cool box primed, just waiting to see what comes along. It’s about as good as it gets in our humble opinion.
Wildlife Projects

Elephant Sanctuary
We have launched a wildlife project in partnership with Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary in the Shimba Hills. The Elephant Sanctuary is a community-based program, where by local people have “leased” their property to a community based trust, which manages the sanctuary for the benefit and preservation of the elephants. It also provides valuable revenue for the landowners and local people, realised through eco-tourism and gate entrance fees. Read More...

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...
Made me a stronger person and made me more enthusiastic to fight for my mark in the world. Really enjoyed the trip which has made me want to go back and help more. Can’t wait for the next opportunity I have to go to a place like Kenya
