EXPEDITIONS 

Every few weeks on the programs there is an epic expedition to a different conservation area. These are exciting and fun trips, learning about wildlife in different environments and the challenges faced by running conservancies as well as getting involved with different projects. 
Here are some examples of current expeditions, these may slightly change from group to group.

 

Kenya Expeditions

  • Ragati conservancy in the Mt Kenya forest. Checking camera traps for endangered species, fly-fishing and exploring the forest. Helping the rangers catch trout fingerlings and moving them into rivers where they can breed. 

  • Ndoto Hills, Chalbi desert and Lake Turkana or the Rift Valley Lakes of Bogoria and Baringo. Learning about different tribes, their cultures, and very traditional way of life in the remotest of locations which would otherwise be inaccessible to young people traveling in Kenya, these journeys have a profound impact on everyone who visits these remote areas. 

  • Finally, climbing Mount Kenya with a team of professional mountain guides, cooks, and porters to point Lenana is a great achievement and serious challenge in extreme conditions. 

  • There is also an additional option for experienced riders to do a 1-day riding safari on a conservancy amongst rhino, elephant, giraffe, zebra and buffalo 

  • Those keen on farming can visit local commercial farms, combining flowers, wheat and canola, fruit and vegetables, beef and dairy cattle.

 

 Zimbabwe Expeditions

  • Matopos Hills hiking in this incredible landscape to see ancient Rock Art. Some of the best cave paintings in Africa depicting wild animals and early hunters. Matopos is on our route to Victoria Falls and we spend one or two nights here

  • Nyanga in the Eastern Highlands. Following forest trails, led by professionals on a huge zip line, swimming in cold streams and hiking in this stunning part of Zimbabwe.
