Africa
Africa is a continent of extreme beauty to travel in your year out – from the beautiful Cape of South Africa, up to tropical eco-paradises and plains. Choosing a gap year in Africa will open your eyes to this colourful continent of fascinating contrasts.
If you're looking for a gap year in Africa or volunteer in Africa experience that really makes a difference whilst you travel Africa, i-to-i offers some unique and rewarding volunteer and teaching projects in ten African countries, ranging from helping local underprivileged communities in Kenya, to contributing to vital Africa wildlife conservation programs in South Africa. At i-to-i, we believe that we can help Africa in so many more ways beyond giving aid, so why not consider volunteering in South Africa or Kenya? If you would like to teach English in Africa i-to-i can organise volunteer work in Africa, and even provide a TEFL course.
