I studied abroad on the spring of 2022 voyage. Doing this voyage absolutely changed my life. In the span of 4 months, we traveled to 14 different countries and fully immersed ourselves in their cultures. This experience truly did change my life. I grew so much and got out of my shell. I gained independence but also met the most amazing friends that I still travel with to this day. I recommend this program to anyone thinking about doing it, you will not regret it!

A Guide to Study Abroad in Kenya

Best Places to Study Abroad in Kenya

Kenya’s infrastructure is made up of a tantalizing mixture of wildlife and picturesque scenery––even in the cities! Study abroad opportunities in Kenya are plentiful in both metropolitan and rural areas. Cities usually offer a greater variety of programs and mainstream university options, but if the call of the wild has your number, there are still plenty of possibilities to explore! Here are the most popular places to study abroad in Kenya.

Students who choose to study abroad in Nairobi will find themselves choosing between seven university campuses, where they can focus on a range of interdisciplinary studies and work hands-on with experts in their field of choice. Nairobi offers a concrete jungle to roam around and explore, with seriously good food and exciting nightlife abounding in the heart of the city. On the fringe, students can enjoy a safari at Nairobi National Park or rugby match at the Impala grounds. After working up an appetite, be sure to head to the Carnivore for dinner you will never forget!

A charming, cosmopolitan port city (that is really fun to say with a Kenyan accent), Mombasa is lodged along the lush, palm-fringed coastline of the Indian Ocean, offering a laid-back beach vibe that is swimming with fun activities! Spend your free time exploring the beaches or snorkeling and diving in one of the protected marine parks and reserves to unwind your mind after a long day of studying.

For those looking to get out of the city and experience the beauty of a savannah sunset, the rural areas of Kenya offer many study abroad programs as well. If you’re interested in environmental or wildlife sciences, be sure to give the plains and off-the-beaten-path locations a look. Kenya is home to some of the most spectacular wildlife and national parks in the world that are just begging to be awed.
