Ancient human cultures, abundant flora and iconic wildlife traversing sweeping landscapes - when you envisage these epic scenes of Africa, you're most likely picturing Kenya. Kenya is a fantastic destination for school groups looking to combine many elements, from climbing to the summit of Mt Kenya, helping with a Service Learning project or spotting animals in the wild.
From sunbaked deserts to perfect beaches and fertile highlands, rugged mountains and endless grassy savannas, Kenya is blessed with a huge variety of landscapes, upon which roams a staggering diversity of wildlife. It's here that you might spot Africa's iconic 'Big 5' in their natural environment.
Time your trip right to witness the awe-inspiring sight of the great annual migration, as millions of wildebeest and other animals make their yearly northward journey from Tanzania's Serengeti to the greener pastures of Kenya's Masai Mara. Here in the Mara, you can experience the culture of the Masai people and camp out under the stars for an unforgettable wilderness experience.
Raft the white-water rapids of Sagana, cycle through the spectacular Hells' Gate National Park or challenge your students with an exhilarating summit of snowcapped Mt Kenya, Africa's second-highest peak, then return to the plains to watch iconic wildlife roam the savannas at sunset.
With all of its environmental and cultural treasures, this is also a more affordable African destination for schools.
