What is the price of the trip?
Expect to spend approximately $3,000. The biggest expense of the trip is the airfare, which is around $2,000. While there is no cost to volunteer, individuals are expected to help with costs such as purchasing food and gas. Each volunteer will be asked for an initial contribution of $100 (we will collect this money in Kenya) to purchase shared items (food/gas). If this initial pool of money is depleted we will collect money as needed in $50 or $100 increments. You may want to plan to bring addition money for souvenirs and crafts. During each trip to Kenya an outing is arranged so that volunteers can see other areas of the country. Often this outing is a trip to the game park – a safari! If you choose to participate in this trip the cost is around $300-$400 which includes travel on a chartered safari bus, most food, and lodging for 2-3 nights.
