About This Programme

The Chyulu Wilderness Camp is Institut Le Rosey's immersive one-week eco-adventure in Kenya's Chyulu Hills, set on an 800-hectare site within a Maasai Group Ranch near Mount Kilimanjaro and Tsavo National Park. Built around the pillars of adventure, conservation, volunteering and wonderment, students join wildlife safaris with Maasai guides, cloud-forest treks, hands-on conservation projects and community service, with no traditional classroom teaching. The fossil-fuel-free, carbon-negative camp uses locally sourced food and sustainable energy.
Schedule
Days built around four pillars: adventure (safaris and treks with Maasai guides), conservation projects, community volunteering, and reflective 'wonderment' activities such as meditation; allocated reflection and self-study hours included.

Admission Requirements

Open to ages 13-17; an Electronic Travel Authorisation (handled by the camp team) is required. No vaccinations required due to the altitude.
