STS are delighted to offer this brand new African Adventure for schools.
In partnership with a well established youth specialist operator to East Africa, groups will have the opportunity to experience the wildlife, the local culture and scenery and participate in sustainable local community projects. This ‘hands on’ tour will help students develop key life skills, such as effective communication, leadership and responsibility, teamwork, problem solving, decision making and use of initiative. Students will gain satisfaction and pride from their contribution working in partnership with the local community.
Based from Camp Kenya’s Wildlife Discovery Camp in the Tsavo Region, this trip provides students with a wide range of community & wildlife activities. Camp Tsavo is located on a 75,000-acre ranch packed with wildlife and home to several indigenous rural communities. The Ranch sits between the National Parks of Tsavo East and West which combined make the largest National Park area in Kenya and one of the biggest in the world.

All of our arrangements are flexible and STS are happy to quote you for any variations you may choose.

Day 1
UK/Nairobi.
Departs London this evening, arriving in Mombasa the following morning.
Day 2
Nairobi/Nakuru.
You will be met on arrival at Mombasa airport and will transfer to Camp Tsavo. Camp Tsavo is located approximately 2-3 hours drive from Mombasa. The group will be settled into camp and provided with an arrival safety brief and a brief orientation of the area. The rest of the day is left for students to settle in and enjoy the views over the ranch. The camp is frequently visited by wildlife and protected with a traditional Boma (fence). Overnight Camp Tsavo.
Day 3
Students will work together or be broken into teams to rotate through the day’s activities. A wildlife brief educates students to the animals that are common to the ranch and include Lion, Cheetah and Elephants. The team are then shown some basic bush craft skills such as fire lighting and taught some useful phrases in Swahili. Evenings in camp finish around the campfire telling stories. Overnight Camp Tsavo.

The projects at Camp Tsavo are varied and students will get an opportunity to take part in a range of bush activities.
