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 north of Mount Kenya 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!

Although families can join any of our Explorer Programs described above, we also have Family Programs in March designed for families, their friends and relatives. The emphasis in these programs is on having a safe, fun time, meeting and mixing with Kenyan families, and sharing the exciting adventures and experiences in East Africa with your very own family members. Included in the family programs are safari travel to wildlife parks, village and school visits, exciting bush camps and an extended coastal opportunity if wanted.
