Three weeks in Kenya taking students from the savannahs of Tsavo to the white-sand beaches of Diani. Throughout the expedition you support education and community development in two rural communities, living and working alongside local people and learning about the challenges they face as well as the rich tradition and culture of Kenya. You get up close to incredible wildlife, with the chance to spot the Big 5 on safari in Tsavo East, before mastering the fundamentals of scuba diving and earning your PADI Open Water Scuba Diving qualification in the glistening Indian Ocean. This page is your complete guide. Read on, picture yourself there, and when you are ready, take your place.
Your dedicated Regional Expedition Coordinator, Sarah, will be on hand throughout your journey with Camps International, supporting you from end to end, alongside the wider Camps International team.
This sample itinerary will give you an insight into what you will be getting up to. Please note, the exact projects, activities and camps may change closer to the time of your expedition.

The expedition cost (£4,900 per student) is comprehensive, covering everything below from arrival in-country to departure.
This expedition is built to challenge and grow every student. The outcomes are lasting, and they reach far beyond the trip itself.
A three-week expedition pairing sustained community development work in two rural Kenyan communities with marine conservation, a Big Game safari and a PADI Open Water qualification. Certified scientific fieldwork in a conservation context, alongside a recognised physical qualification, is a credible and distinctive personal-statement thread for science, geography and PE applicants.
Your child safety is our first priority. Camps International has delivered school expeditions for over twenty years, with experienced teams based in Kenya and a long-established, year-round presence on the ground.

A Camps expedition is an investment, and fundraising is part of the journey. Many students raise a significant share of their expedition cost themselves, and the process builds genuine confidence, initiative and financial capability along the way.
Full guidance, templates and ideas are available at campsinternational.com/fundraising-for-your-expedition.
Camps International is a social enterprise. Every expedition contributes to a long-term, locally led programme of work, aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
For me, it has been a life changing experience. It taught me how to be resilient and it put the world into perspective.
