AFRICA! Even the word itself conjures up images of herds of wildebeest on dusty plains, great lions on the hunt, massive elephants moving over grasslands, the Maasai people and other tribes in traditional dress. The sights and sounds of Africa will fill you with memories for a life time. Join our Study in Africa Program in East Africa to see and experience the real AFRICA while on safari.

• For individuals, families and groups, we have our popular Explorer Program which takes you on an inspirational tour of modern East Africa with its mix of cities, amazing landscapes, wildlife and cultures.

As a participant in our Explorer program, you will begin your trip at our compound in Limuru, Kenya, and experience the special sites around the city of Nairobi including: the National Museum, David Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Center, Karen Blixen Gardens and more! We will travel to the nearby Rift Valley to visit local artists, and to spend time at Nakuru National Park with its large rhino population.

Bring a good camera! Our Explorers will have a chance to spend time in the dry savanna area of Samburu with its Oryx, Gerenuk and Grevys zebra. Extra time will be spent in the great Masai Mara National Reserve where Explorers will visit prime wildlife viewing areas and meet the Maasai people. End your trip to East Africa with some quality time on the shores of the Indian Ocean when we stay in luxury accommodation on the Kenya coast. If you want, we will even teach you how to SCUBA dive!

• For university students, we offer an Academic Program with university credit courses and extensive safari travel throughout East Africa. You will see all that our explorers experience plus much more! An amazing international experience!

The academic program is offered through Makerere University (Kampala, Uganda) in association with faculty from Canadian universities. As a student in the field school, you will take a suite of courses as you travel on safari through southern Kenya and Uganda. Lectures and field exercises are scheduled each day but there is also time for amazing game viewing. You will spend time in villages, meeting and sharing experiences with the peoples of East Africa. Kenya and Uganda provide a rich diversity of cultures and environments to enhance our education. Make lifelong friends while you gain a new perspective of the world around you.
