Kenya is home to the Great Rift Valley, a vast tectonic scar stretching thousands of kilometres across East Africa, and to Mount Kenya, Africa's second-highest peak at 5,199m. From high mountains and remote deserts to extraordinary cultures, rich history, and beautiful beaches, Kenya offers an incredible range of landscapes within a single country.
The wildlife is on another scale entirely. Kenya's savannahs support some of the greatest concentrations of large mammals on Earth, from lion and elephant to the annual wildebeest migration across the Maasai Mara - one of the most extraordinary wildlife spectacles in the world. Biology and ecology-focused safaris bring students face to face with this richness, while development projects and wildlife conservation work offer a genuine connection to the communities working to protect it.
For the more adventurous, an ascent of Mount Kenya offers a genuine mountaineering challenge, with landscapes shifting from rainforest to alpine moorland as you climb. Whether the focus is conservation, geography, ecology, or global citizenship, Kenya's landscapes, wildlife, and cultures come vividly to life at every turn.
