Gap Year Adventure Quote - Jessica Wood

Short On Time Big On Adventure 

A Kenyan project leader will accompany you on all tasks and you will work with the local people. throughout. Whilst at Shimoni we will arrange for you to sail on an old dhow to the Kisite Marine Park to snorkel on unspoilt coral reefs and swim with the dolphins that inhabit the area - they turn up over 97% of the time! A shallow water dive with professional divers will also be available. A fabulous seafood feast at the famous Charlie Claw's restaurant will follow this. We will also arrange for you to have a weekend back in Diani, where you can enjoy the golden sand, beach bars and vibrant nightlife.

All this will be followed by 2 weeks of safaris! Check out the itinerary for more information.
