Independent Travel

As your project comes to an end AV offers you the chance to stay on for an additional 4 weeks of independent travel time, to ensure a good balance of volunteer work and travel. Kenya and other parts of East Africa have lots of exciting and beautiful places to explore which you won’t get a chance to do in your weekends alone. From our experience travelling is often when problems occur, from lost passports to getting ill – that’s why we offer this extra travel time to ensure that you experience as much as possible but with the continued 24/7 support from us whilst you do so.

It’s up to you, the only rule is that you don’t travel by yourself.

If 4 weeks isn’t enough and you are staying on a bit longer in Africa, don’t worry because “Once an AV, always an AV!” We can store luggage for you in Nairobi and help you out if you run into any problems.
