Oakton Travel/Study Offers Kenya Safari


View, study, and photograph the fertile habitat of Kenya on a travel/study safari offered by Oakton Community College. Four trips to the east African country are planned for 2004: January 14 - 27, June 9 - 22, August 4 - 17, and October 6 - 19.

Begin your journey in Nairobi and visit the Department of Paleontology and the National Museum of Kenya; then, 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. Enjoy the campsite of wildlife researchers and visit Lake Nakuru, home of a million flamingos. Tour Mt. Kenya and cross the equator to the Samburu Game Reserve to view elephants, leopard, lions, Grevy zebras, giraffes, and Beisa oryx.

The Kenyan adventure also offers a balloon safari at an additional cost. An optional Tanzania extension also is available and includes a sundown tour of Lake Manyara National Park, a picnic in the park, and a daylong observational safari of the Ngorongoro Crater.

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.
