Gap Year Programmes in Africa

Your African adventure starts here

Explore this incredible continent through a focus on cultural immersion, adventure, and conservation on our gap year experiences. Get up close and personal with the Big 5, live alongside the Maasai people, and return home with a brand new perspective on life. 

Discover the fascinating histories and cultures of Kenya and Tanzania and learn traditional crafts from the people who live there. Take part in real conservation efforts, embark on thrilling safaris, and assist with local community initiatives to leave a lasting impact. 

Take part in cultural activities and events with hundreds of years of history behind them and learn some of the local languages. See the stunning beauty of the African savannah for yourself, gaze upon majestic mountains, and hike around cascading waterfalls. 

Our gap year programmes are tailored specifically for young adults aged 17 to 24 looking to invest in themselves and make incredible memories. These trips help you see the world and your role within it differently, understand global connections, and unlock your own passions.
