Days 1-2: Arrival in Nairobi and orientation
The volunteer safari starts with a meet and greet at the airport and a transfer to your Nairobi hotel. Before proceeding to your volunteering program, you will receive orientation for two days on the African culture, how to behave, what is expected of you, Kenyan history and geography.
- Accommodation: Nairobi hotel
- Meals: Bed and breakfast
Days 3-4: Transfer to your host family
After the orientation, you will be taken to your host family who will host you for the whole duration of volunteering on day three. Day four will be spent bonding with the host family. During your volunteer program you will be accommodated in a pre-selected homestay.
The homestay offers you a lockable room, host parents, two meals a day (breakfast and dinner), mosquito net, and an opportunity to interact with locals and learn how to cook local dishes.
Days 5-11: Volunteering in a children’s home
During your volunteering period, you will engage in day to day activities of running the children's home. The orphanage activities include cooking, feeding kids, laundry, assisting them with their homework, administrative work, general grooming, dressing, and soothing them to sleep.
The children home you will be volunteering in can be a walking distance or with minimal commuting from the hosting family.
Day 12: Nairobi - Maasai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve offering wonderful scenery and plenty of game.

Have an afternoon game drive until sunset. Dinner and overnight will be at Mara Springs Tented Camp or an equivalent accommodation.
Day 13: Full day game drive in Maasai Mara National Reserve
Early breakfast is followed by an exciting full morning game viewing drive, including a visit to Mara River to view the hippos.

Dinner and overnight will be at Mara Springs Tented Camp or an equivalent accommodation.
Day 14: Maasai Mara National Reserve - Nairobi
After breakfast, drive to Nairobi, Kenya's colorful capital city, arriving at around midday. You will be dropped off at your hotel, airport, or agreed point.
