4 weeks, 3 epic phases. Spend 4 weeks on the stunning Kenya coast where you'll be working on marine projects focusing on coral reef regeneration in the marine protected area of Kuruwitu lagoon. From coral gardening to collecting data on fish populations, you'll be rolling up your sleeves and getting hands-on experience with our charity partners, the Oceans Alive trust. Combine beach and bush as you see the diverse wildlife both in and out of the ocean while you embark on a safari. Trust us, this project is genius and is ever-evolving.
You'll also be helping with community projects aimed at helping local people move away from reliance on fishing. This is the kind of experience you can't get on your own - perfect for a summer adventure.
