The 14-Day Kenya Naro Moru Volunteer Project and Safari is a great way to discover the wonderful wildlife in East Africa and to contribute to a local community. If you book by the end of December for your volunteer project and safari in Kenya in 2012 you can either save $300 or receive a free lodging upgrade.
There are several projects that you can choose to work on, and there is a $250 direct donation for project materials included in the total price.
Here are some of the projects for volunteers:
- Community Reforestation Project
- Organic Community Farming
- Teaching at local schools
