Oakton Offers Safari Adventure to Kenya

View, study, and photograph the fertile habitat of Kenya on a travel/study safari offered by Oakton Community College. Two-week trips to this East African hub of trade and finance in 2005 depart on: June 7, Aug. 2, and Oct. 4.

Begin your journey in Nairobi and visit the Department of Paleontology and the National Museum of Kenya. Stop in Boystown to learn about current social issues affecting Kenyan children. Drive across the Athi Plaines through one of the best-known gaming parks. Visit with wildlife researchers and witness the sight of one million flamingos at Lake Nakuru. Tour Mt. Kenya and cross the equator to the Samburu Game Reserve to view elephants, leopards, lions, Grevy zebras, giraffes, and Beisa oryx. A balloon safari is offered at an additional cost.

A family safari trip to Kenya is also available in August. Bring the family along for a ride through a rich canopy of wildlife and observe its inhabitants. Cultures unite when young travelers have the opportunity for playtime with local children in the village of Masai.

Throughout the safari experience, participants will be immersed in the culture and wildlife of Kenya. For complete itineraries and costs, call Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812.
