i-to-iGap Year in Africa
In need of a break from studying and want to see the world? Why not consider a Gap Year in Africa; it’s the destination if you want to get out there and make a difference!
If you’re fanatical about volunteering with wildlife, during your gap year in Africa you could be visiting some of the most exceptional places to view endangered species on the entire planet. Read about our amazing volunteering in Africa wildlife programmes and see the sheer diversity within each of the countries where i-to-i helps to run projects. If you prefer to volunteer with children during your gap year in Africa, then consider volunteering in Kenya or taking your gap year in South Africa. We offer a wide range of rewarding volunteer programmes which could mean you have a real impact on the lives of disadvantaged people or communities. That’s not forgetting you will get to see African desert plains, breathtaking coastlines and of course, get the chance to come face-to-face with exotic wildlife on our conservation volunteer work experience.
So what are you waiting for? See what you could be doing on your gap year in Africa:
