Study
and photograph the fertile habitat of Kenya on a tour offered by Oakton
Community College. The last two trips in 2007 depart July 31 and Oct.
2.
Begin
your journey in Nairobi with a visit to 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 marvel at the sight
of one million flamingos at Lake Nakuru. Tour Mt. Kenya and cross
the equator to the Samburu Game Reserve.
An
optional balloon safari and excursion to Tanzania are available at
an extra cost. Lower cost versions of this learning vacation are available
for the budget-minded traveler. Alternative trips include more modest
accommodations and meal packages.
Throughout the safari, participants will be immersed in the culture
and wildlife of Kenya. Trips in 2008 are also scheduled. For complete
