Back up

Nigel Warren, our Africa Director will be responsible for your group. He will meet you at the airport, run your orientation course and sort out any issues that arise during your time in Africa.

Weather

Kenya is often called a cool country with a hot sun and that sums it up well. Your school will be at about 6000ft above sea level, with cool nights and warm days. The coastal region is hot and humid and northern arid areas, where you'll go on safari, are hot (approx 32°C). Tea plantations need rain and the afternoon downpours, and hours of sunshine, keep these areas lush and green.

Medical

There is a network of good hospitals and doctors in Kenya and our Nairobi staff are always on hand to advise. Nairobi boasts a very high standard of hospitals and medical care.
