Kenya Camp Life

Kenya

Kenya lies astride the equator on the eastern coast of Africa. Kenya is bordered in the north by Sudan and Ethiopia, in the east by Somalia, on the southeast by the Indian Ocean, on the southwest by Tanzania and to the west by Lake Victoria and Uganda. With its vast plains teeming with abundant wildlife, the annual migration of a million wildebeest and zebras across the Maasai Mara, the snow capped peak of Mount Kenya and the spectacular palm fringed beaches of the Indian Ocean, Kenya’s natural environment and cultural heritage is unrivalled in Africa.

Time
Kenya is three hours ahead of GMT.

Getting There

You will need to arrange your flights to arrive into Mombasa International Airport, via Nairobi in Kenya. Please ensure your flight arrives after 09.00am or before 19.00pm. Upon arrival, you will be met by our project representatives and transferred to your project accommodation to settle in before starting your orientation.

Climate

The climate of Kenya is diverse. The lowlands are generally hot and dry, whereas the highlands are more temperate with four seasons. The coastal areas are tropical but the heat is abated by monsoon winds.

Please take note of the winter months and pack accordingly to these temperatures, which could drop to below zero at times.
