Who will meet me in the airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss my flight? When should I arrive?
The Nairobi International Airport (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport)is your destination and arrival point for your volunteer travel to Kenya, so please book your flight to Nairobi. Even if participants are joining the program in Mombasa , IFRE suggests participants arrive in Nairobi as the Language and Cultural orientation programs only take place within our Nairobi offices. One of IFRE's representatives will await your arrival at the airport. Participants should ensure pick-up by sending their flight information to IFRE's offices - a follow-up call is suggested as your departure date draws closer.
If volunteers are delayed or miss their flight, it is highly recommended that you call our offices or your coordinator and make alternative arrangements with them. In the event that a volunteer gets lost, our general suggestion that they go to the specific contact hotel (provided within the pre-departure package) using a taxi service. Once participants make contact with IFRE's representative or in-country coordinator, they will then be transferred to IFRE's respective offices/hostel.
Volunteers arriving in Kenya are advised to arrive one day prior to the start of the program. In the event that participants arrive more than one day early or remain in Kenya after the close of the program, they will then be responsible for their own room and food expenses.
The mission of IFRE Volunteers is to offer the most affordable as well as the highest quality volunteer and humanitarian abroad experiences - enabling us to make a contribution for all of humanity in its quest to make the world a better place. Through our volunteer and humanitarian trips abroad, we aim to spread love and compassion worldwide while improving the lives of destitute children and less-fortunate communities. We at IFRE also seek sustainable solutions in the fields of education, healthcare, conservation efforts and development issues through international volunteering.
