Kenya is a stunning destination that offers everything from white sandy beaches and famous national parks with rich wildlife to bustling metropolitan cities. No wonder it attracts more and more visitors and volunteers every year with its long history and amazing nature. Kenya is the perfect place to go on a safari or to volunteer with its diverse wildlife. Get involved in exciting conservation opportunities and wildlife research activities. Kenya is a country of internationally significant habitats where wildlife roams freely. It is home to rare, unique species and the Big Five (African elephant, Cape Buffalo, African leopard, and White/black rhinoceros ). But it is also a developing country, with a great range of poverty and health issues.
