This was a wonderful experience. Not only were the guides and coordinators very knowledgable and thoroughly engaged the participants, but getting to be a part of important research and conservation work was an honour. I really enjoyed meeting people from around the world and being surrounded by like-minded people. This is a wonderful program!

What an experience. This was an experience that I will remember for life. I fulfilled a dream, I met many interesting people and I had the chance to see the animals that populate Africa live and up close.

Great and memorable experience
