About this programme

Chyulu Wilderness Camp is a one-week residential camp run by Le Rosey Camps at an eco-lodge in Kenya's Chyulu Hills, for 13 to 17 year olds. The programme is built around adventure, volunteering, conservation and wonderment, with guided safaris and treks, conservation projects and time with local Maasai communities. Up to 30 students attend each programme, sharing tents of two to four with en-suite bathrooms. The fee covers the week's stay, air transfers between Nairobi and the camp, full board and all activities, but not flights from home.
Schedule
Days built around four pillars: adventure (safaris and treks with Maasai guides), conservation projects, community volunteering, and reflective 'wonderment' activities such as meditation; allocated reflection and self-study hours included.
