What to expect

Explore some of Kenya’s most remarkable landscapes under the expert guidance of local Maasai, whilst taking part in conservation and community projects. From cycling through Hell’s Gate National Park to trekking the remote Loita Hills, each day brings new challenges, new perspectives, and the chance to build confidence outdoors.

Alongside the adventure, you’ll play an active role in projects that protect Kenya’s wildlife and support local communities. You’ll help monitor giraffes, lions, and bird species, patrol the reserve against poaching, and fit eco-stoves in family homes - small changes that make a big difference for people and the environment.

The expedition also gives you a window into Kenyan culture. You’ll share meals with the Maasai, learn some Swahili, and experience traditions first-hand. By the end of the trip, you’ll have new skills, stronger resilience, and a deeper understanding of both the natural world and the communities who call it home.
