The veterinary program is by far the most interesting especially for those who wish to come in groups.
The project is run from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) headquarters in Nairobi. Volunteers participating in the program are therefore stationed in Nairobi but will be required to travel from one park to another. Meaning, this week one could  attend to a sick  antelope in Amboseli then move hundreds of kilometers to help treat a sick lioness in Samburu, Masai Mara or Abedares National Park.

The placement is all about wildlife health. Though the animals have strength and power that has over the centuries captured human imagination, they also fall sick, experience great pain and often die.
A volunteer would therefore participate in the quest to find the pained animal and help it regain its health. The most active vet department of the KWS is the one in Nairobi. This program is however unpredictable because it is not possible to tell when and where a sick animal might be found in the vast parks. This means sometimes the placement will involve office work.
When a volunteer is not attending a distant a assignment that is usually done in the company of a seasoned KWS veterinary doctors and rangers, he or she will be involved at the nearby Nairobi National Park, The Animal Orphanage or elegant Safari Walk.
This program is best when there is an on going translocation program as no fun exceeds trapping, loading and off-loading giant herbivores in different parks across the country.
This placement is highly competitive, thus those pursuing veterinary studies or practicing veterinary medicine are usually given first priority. Do not however hesitate to send us your CV as we might be able to get you on the next bus with a team headed for a real adventure somewhere, in the middle of the vast jungles.

As just mentioned this placement is highly competitive, thus those pursuing veterinary studies or practicing veterinary medicine are usually given first priority. Do not however hesitate to send us your CV as we might be able to get you on the next bus with a team headed for a real adventure somewhere, in the middle of the vast jungles. This is for hard working, hands on , flexible people looking for unpredictable and educational volunteering project.

A carefully selected host family will offer accommodation, food and safe drinking water while in Nairobi. When out in the field, food, accommodation and bottled water will be provided under special arrangements

This program would best suit anyone who wishes to shake hands with the real wild animals and live to tell the story! The pictures show the kind of adventure that can be had. Often long and hard work but a once in a lifetime experience.

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 just next to the 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 organise 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 as fun
