Experience adventurous Africa:

• We visit the Masai Mara in Kenya, which is world-renowned for its exceptional wildlife:
• Exciting safari with, among other things, close contact with elephants
• Stays at both school and orphanage where we help build, activate the students and help .
• We visit the Maasai who herd cattle against lions on the savannah.
• And we end the trip in Kenya where, among other things, we contribute to a school in the world's largest slum.

At school we work with various themes:

• human rights, the world's refugee situation.
• humanitarian work at grassroots level to meeting with larger organisations.
• simple language course in Swahili
• Learn to cook African food
• Live without electricity, collect water for cooking and eat with your hands
• get to know African cultures through people-to-people encounters, both in Norway and in Kenya
• fundraising campaigns and participation in humanitarian projects

We break up the teaching with cabin trips and social activities together.
