Memorable trip
by: Samantha Rodriguez - United StatesProgram: Vets-In-The-Wild ExpeditionsOne of the best trips I’ve taken! I gained so much knowledge and experience during the short 3 weeks in South Africa. I was fortunate enough to be in a small group of six students, we grew so close and still keep in touch today. Thanks to Ecolife Expeditions, I plan to travel back to South Africa next summer and work with one of the specialists.
