Atlas Projects in Nairobi

After breakfast, you’ll visit Atlas Foundation projects in Nairobi to see how sport and education are changing lives. The highlight is the Atlas DigiBus – a mobile digital classroom that takes technology and digital-skills training directly to children who would otherwise miss out. You’ll meet members of the local team and hear how access to digital learning is opening new opportunities for young people in Nairobi’s communities. It’s a clear example of Atlas’s mission in action: practical, community-driven support that gives children the tools to build better futures through sport and education.

Into the Wild: Kasigau Base Camp

Leaving Nairobi behind, you’ll travel south by 4×4 as the city gives way to open country, small roadside towns and the vast landscapes of southern Kenya. You’ll arrive at Kasigau Base Camp and meet your local mountain guides, settling into camp at the foot of Mt Kasigau. In the afternoon, you’ll stretch your legs with a warm-up hike to Gae Rock and Mshiri Dam, exploring the surrounding landscape before returning to camp. As evening falls, we’ll gather around the campfire for dinner, and a briefing with the guides ahead of tomorrow’s mountain challenge.

Trek Mount Kasigau & Onward to the Coast

An early start for the Mount Kasigau trek, a rewarding challenge that takes around six to seven hours in total. Rising to about 1,640 metres, the mountain stands alone between Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, offering far-reaching views in every direction.

The trek begins on open savannah scrub before climbing gradually into more rocky terrain. Higher up, the slopes are covered in cool montane forest — a welcome change of shade and temperature as the altitude increases. The route is varied and engaging throughout. Along the way, it’s common to see birds, butterflies, and the occasional monkey moving through the trees. The summit gives a panoramic view across the Tsavo plains and, on clear days, all the way to the Indian Ocean and towards the snowy peak of Kilimanjaro.

After the descent, the team continues by 4×4 toward the coast, reaching Shanzu in the late afternoon. The day ends at a beach hotel, with time to relax, recover, and enjoy dinner together to celebrate the climb and the journey across Kenya so far.

Atlas Projects in Mombassa & Departure

In the morning, visit Atlas Foundation projects in and around Shanzu. These initiatives use sport to open up education and opportunity for children growing up in poverty. Weekly sports sessions are combined with mentoring, nutrition, and learning support, helping young people stay in school and build confidence. You’ll meet some of the local coaches, participants and their families to see how these community-led programmes are changing lives at a grassroots level. It’s a fitting conclusion to your time in Kenya, and a chance to connect your fundraising to real, long-term impact.

In the afternoon, transfer to Mombasa for your evening flight home.

Arrival in London

Arrive back in London with lasting memories of Kenya’s landscapes, people, and the projects your support has helped make possible.
