Safari game drives are one of the highlights on our school trips in East Africa
East Africa is the ideal place for school trips offering unbelievable safari game drives, trekking, adventure activities and cultural experiences. This region of Africa is immersed in spectacular landscapes and rugged terrain for a truly memorable encounter that offers nothing short of never ending fun and excitement. Whether students are after the challenge of going in search of the Big 5 (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard), climbing to the peak of Mt Kilimanjaro, achieving PADI dive qualifications while exploring the best reefs in the world, or learning to jump like a Masai warrior, East Africa has it all.
East Africa comprises of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. While these nations are neighbours, they offer diverse and uniquely different African adventures. You may want to focus your school trip in one country or take in the beauty and varied attractions of all three.
