✈️ Naas CBS TY Students Conservation Work in The Soysambu Conservancy, Kenya ✈️

In March 2026 , 30 Transition Year students and 3 teachers from Naas CBS will travel to Kenya to volunteer and work together to protect endangered wildlife in East Africa, like the Rothschild’s Giraffe.

The Soysambu Conservancy, located in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, is a vast wildlife haven of over 48,000 acres on the shores of Lake Elementaita. It protects a diverse ecosystem, including grasslands, acacia woodlands, and the lake itself.

Soysambu is home to a variety of wildlife, including giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and over 450 bird species. With stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, and commitment to animal protection, Soysambu is the perfect place for real conservation work.

This once in a lifetime opportunity will allow our students to learn about:

✅ Endangered species research

✅ Setting up camera traps

✅Maintaining natural water holes for animals

✅ Gain first-hand experience of global citizenship and volunteering

✅ Develop empathy, resilience, and teamwork through service

✅ Community outreach

In addition to working in the conservancy, they will also participate in a community outreach once a week.

The outreach activities will include:
