Study Abroad in Kenya

Study English Language & More


Named for it's signature mountain, Kenya an East African country is considered the cradle of humanity and simply is Africa in microcosm. From the varied wildlife of the Serengeti to the beautiful white-sand beaches, the energetic cities, the enormous glacial mountains, and the expansive deserts, Kenya truly does encompass the full range of biodiversity that Africa has to offer. In Kenya it is possible to leave Nairobi, an ancient city with a thriving business heart powered by the latest information technology, and drive in just a few hours to a place where life is lived in accordance to tradition and custom, where native tribe, such as the Maasai warriors armed with spears drive cattle into thorn brush enclosures to protect them from lions at night. Kenya’s magnificent wildlife parks draw millions of tourists from around the world each year to witness life preserved in its natural habitat.

Programs in Kenya:

Mt. Kenya - Is Africa's second highest peak and like Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, you don't need special training to reach its summit. It is believed by the Kikuyu tribe to be the home of their God, Ngai, making it a spiritually significant site. Climbers/hikers can stay in huts on the mountain or in lodges and private camps at its base. The mountain’s incredible height and its location just off the equator create the unique phenomenon of equatorial snow and glaciers have formed on its highest peaks

Maasai Mara National Reserve - Located in Southwestern Kenya on its border with Tanzania, the Massai Mara National Reserve is the premier wildlife park in Kenya. The relatively small Reserve contains a huge concentration of elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, giraffes and hippos among many more. From July to October you can witness the incredible migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra. Visits are also arranged to traditional Maasai villages to experience their exotic, rich, long-preserved culture in the area.

Lake Victoria - The largest tropical lake in the world, and the source of the great Nile River, Lake Victoria forms the coast of Northwest Kenya. Fishing and boating are the most popular activities on the lake along with safari explorations. There are over 3,000 islands and a huge collection of wildlife in and around this gigantic fresh-water lake.

Lamu - Tropical island with 8 miles of pristine, white sand beach just off the coast of Kenya in the Arabian ocean. No motor vehicles are permitted on the island and the old town retains its ancient charm with narrow streets and a relaxed atmosphere. Dhow safaris can take you beyond Lamu into the surrounding archipelago, where isolated villages, ancient ruins and a few luxurious and exclusive resorts lie hidden among the islands.

Nyali, Mombasa - The most popular beach resort on Kenya’s coast, Mombasa is an ancient port town with beautiful beaches and incredible marine life. Just off the coast of Nyali beach an expansive region of coral provides snorkelers with an exotic habitat of fish and other wildlife.

Lake Turkana the Jade Sea - Though virtually unknown to tourists, this beachside escape contains the world's largest crocodile population (so careful in the water). Locals enjoy fishing that can yield catches up to 400 pounds.

Malindi Beach - Ironically, traveling to Kenya is perfect for a taste of Italy. Filled with over 4,000 immigrants, the beach is full of great seafood, bars, and nightlife.
