South Africa: Safari & Conservation Expedition

On this program, you’ll experience life in a quintessential South African reserve and learn about conservation on the front lines. You might spot Africa’s “Big Five” in the region: lions, leopards, elephants, Cape buffalo and rhino. By night, you’ll live at a rustic home base on the reserve, listening to traditional stories and learning about tribal culture. By day, shadow wildlife conservationists in the South African bush, go on game drives to observe animals and learn about sustainably preserving the region’s endangered species. Your animal conservation efforts will be hands-on and incredibly immersive. You’ll support the reserve with ongoing animal identification and maintenance projects and assist an anti-poaching unit with wildlife predator monitoring.
