Located in an unspoilt corner of North West Kenya amidst 30 acres of virgin forest, the Marich Pass Study Centre is a once in a lifetime experience for school groups.
The Centre is situated on the boundaries of distinctive ecological zones and the surrounding scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
An incredible range of wildlife can be observed. The centre is an excellent base for field studies classes and STS is delighted to be the only British school operator to offer groups the opportunity to stay at this unique location.
All of our arrangements are flexible and STS are happy to quote you for any variations you may choose.
