This 10 day Kenya student study tour takes school and university groups from Nairobi’s conservation centres to Amboseli, the Rift Valley lakes, Hell’s Gate and the Masai Mara.
This 10 day Kenya student study tour is designed for school and university groups who want to learn in the field. Students see conservation at work in Nairobi, study elephants in Amboseli, cycle through the volcanic gorge at Hell’s Gate, and finish with three nights in the Masai Mara, where predators and the migration bring ecology lessons to life.
What will students learn on this 10 day Kenya student study tour?
The route covers several subjects in one trip. The Sheldrick elephant orphanage and the Giraffe Centre show how rescue and breeding programmes work. Amboseli explains how swamps fed by Kilimanjaro’s snowmelt support large elephant herds. Hell’s Gate and Lake Naivasha show Rift Valley geology, geothermal power and freshwater ecosystems, and the Maasai village visit opens a discussion about culture, land and tourism.
Your guides brief the group each day, and teachers can set tasks, journals or species counts around the game drives. We can also arrange a talk with a ranger or a conservation organisation on request.
How is the study tour itinerary planned?
Two nights in Nairobi, two in Amboseli, one at Lake Naivasha, one at Lake Nakuru and three in the Masai Mara. Drives are broken up with stops, and there is a free evening on day 2 to rest after the flight.
Is the tour safe for students?
Students travel in 4×4 vehicles with experienced driver guides, stay at established lodges with security, and have a briefing on arrival. Cycling at Hell’s Gate is supervised, and we share a full risk overview with teachers before travel.
For more planning help, read our guide to a Kenya school trip and our notes on Lake Naivasha lodges.

How do group bookings work?
For every six paying travellers, the seventh place is free. Each traveller can pay separately, and people can arrive on different flights. A deposit of 30 to 40% holds the booking and the balance is due 2 to 4 weeks before travel. Full payment and cancellation rules are in our terms and conditions.
Can the 10 day Kenya student study tour include community work?
Yes. We can add a school visit, tree planting or a short community project, or replace a game drive with a conservation talk. Tell us your learning goals and the students’ ages, and we will shape the itinerary around your curriculum.
