‘Elimu kupitia adventure’
Educational through adventure.
Empowering the generation of today to protect the world of tomorrow
Our Africa safari trips for schools educate the next generation about the importance of biodiversity and conservation.
As natives in the local community, we have strong links with wildlife conservation centres and are passionate about promoting sustainable tourism through action as well as education.
Pupils can help with voluntary work and learn about different cultures while taking in wildlife in its natural habitat.
They’ll also be able to access workshops and various other educational opportunities via the conservation centres and our experienced safari guides.
