Useful Information

Back up

Grace Mbote, our Kenya Manager will be responsible for your group. She 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. Machakos where you will be based for the majority of your project is located in a semi-arid area, with warm days and cool nights. The coastal region is hot and humid and northern arid areas, where you'll go on safari, are hot (approx 32°C).

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.
