Why Complete the Internship in Kenya? Land and Sea Adventures

When you’re not underwater, Kenya’s world-famous safari parks are right on your doorstep. You can watch elephants and lions in the morning and dive coral walls by afternoon. This unique mix of land and sea experiences makes Kenya the perfect place for a gap year, career break, or a bold new chapter.
All Your Gear—Yours to Keep
Unlike many other programs that only offer gear rental or expect you to buy your own separately, Ocean Tribe includes a full set of personal dive equipment in the internship package. It’s brand new from top manufacturers, high-quality, and yours to keep.
