Product Details

Where is the placement?

The children’s home is near Nanyuki in the Laikipia region. It’s a beautiful and relatively unvisited part of Kenya, situated right on the equator. Conservation is high on the agenda, making it a great place to enjoy African wildlife and scenery.

You will live in accommodation at the home, which will be basic but comfortable.

How can I spend my free time?

Oyster has a number of different voluntary projects in the area, including teaching and conservation. This means you’ll have a group of other volunteers nearby to meet up and explore with. You’ll find plenty of things to do in and around Nanyuki during your time off and there are loads of opportunities to make the most of the amazing Kenyan countryside. You could climb Mount Kenya, do river rafting or canoeing. And Oyster provides a brilliant safari for you at no extra cost!

Oyster Worldwide Support

Our friendly UK team will be there to offer advice and make sure all the arrangements are in place. Shortly before you leave you’ll meet the other members of your group and receive thorough preparation at a pre-departure course.

Our local representative, Gill, will meet you at Nairobi airport and settle you in to your projects. During the first few days of your stay she will provide an induction course with plenty of useful advice about life in Kenya. This will include a course in Swahili. Gill will keep us updated on your progress and welfare and you will be able to turn to her for help with any problems you don’t feel able to sort by yourself.

Why Oyster?

Why choose Oyster? We’re small enough to keep close to our volunteers and close to our placements. We focus on you and the needs of the communities we deal with, rather than our profit margin. We know what people want in their gap year (we’ve been doing this for years) and our formula of challenging work, travel in a group, preparation and ongoing support aims to achieve this. We think it works. But don’t just talk to us. We can put you in touch with ex-participants who can tell you why it worked for them.
