Umoja Voluntourism - A Unique Experience

Volunteering with Umoja Orphanage Kenya is more than just a trip; it's an adventure filled with purpose, connection, and unforgettable experiences. Embrace the opportunity to make a tangible impact while exploring the beauty of Kenya.  Whether you are physically active or not, you will enjoy many meaningful experiences that will have a rewarding and life-changing experience like no other.  

Since 2013 we have been taking volunteers to the project. As of December 2024 we have taken over 200 volunteers in around 20+ teams to assist us in Kenya.  Many have returned over and over again.  Africa gets in your blood.  We take 2 volunteer teams each year.  We only do volunteering trips in teams.

 Group Tours

We only do group tours . If you prefer to be a solo person and do your own thing, our volunteer program is not for you.
At 2024 year's end,  over 200 volunteers from Australia have worked at the project in 20+ volunteer teams, and each concluded with a well-earned safari.  Tours are approximately 15 – 18 days, but if you want to stay on or travel further afield no problem. We volunteer for around 8-10 days, then between 5 & 7 day safari.  
Tour group numbers are limited as we take groups of up to 10 -12  people only.

What we ask of Umoja Volunteers


 
  • Do you want to give something back to the community?
  • Do you want a life-changing experience?
  • Are you excited by travel to remote locations?
  • Do you love interacting with people in authentic ways?
  • Would you appreciate up-close experiences with wild animals and ancient tribes?
  • Do you want to build new cross-cultural friendships?
  • Can you work cohesively within a team?
  • Are you able to cope with the limited and delayed availability of resources?
  • Can you handle working for long periods in the heat?
  • Are you tolerant and respectful of cultural differences?
  • Can you manage communication barriers?
  • Do you have a lot of patience?
If you answered YES to all of these questions, then the Umoja Volunteer Program is for you. Travelling with an experienced and passionate tourist as your guide takes the stress and worry out of the planning and preparation. All the paperwork and details are taken care of before you depart, which allows you to concentrate on immersing yourself in amazing Africa.
