Many who have visited East African cities, have an impression that, "Nairobi is East Africa's hub of fun". The city is awash with standard fun bobbling joints for the young and the old alike.

Nairobi is the only city in the world where one can go for a game drive in the wild, thus, weekends out to the Nairobi National Park could be in order. There is also the Nairobi Safari Walk, Animal orphanage, a giraffe and an elephant sanctuary, where one could get to kiss a giraffe lip to lip. For a cultural night out a visit to the Bomas of Kenya, will leave you thrilled and educated about various Kenyan traditional cultures, music and history. One could also climb Mount Longonot, two hours drive from the city, for skilled climbers, Inspire Kenya will be more than glad to organize her volunteers a climb up Africa's second highest point Mount Kenya. The mountain's icy peaks of Batian (5199m) and Nelion (5,189m) are accessible only to experienced mountaineers.

Kenyans are uniquely hospitable people, intelligent and out going. A chat with them over a drink after a hard day's work could be equally a fun.
Note that one can only take on these activities when off duty, during the weekends or either before or after the placement. We can also arrange safaris and other travel plans for you before or during your stay. These are competitively priced as we use local operators only.
