Kenya is a beautiful country with contrasting environmental settings such as the harsh desert, arid plains, gentle savannas, and dense rain forests. In addition, students will be able to become well acquainted with the local culture as members of the Center staff themselves belong to Kenyan tribal groups, such as the storied Maasai. Kenya provides an exciting and unfamiliar experience for most North Americans. Students must also have successfully completed one college-level ecology or biology course. No previous language study is required.
Admission is on a rolling basis.
Students should, however, apply as early as possible because the limited number of spaces fills quickly. Students will be living in a very unique style. The rustic isolated camp will lie several kilometers from the Center for Wildlife Management Studies. The students will sleep in bandas, which are traditional thatched roofed huts. Students will take turns in preparing meals with the aid of local cook.
