Take your group on an educational adventure with RIDE

Discover the wonders of East Africa through RIDE's large group trips and tours, designed to cater to student groups, coworkers planning retreats, and researchers seeking immersive experiences in this captivating region. While these programs do not offer academic credit, they are meticulously curated to be just as educational as our credit-bearing programs, providing participants with invaluable cultural, social, and environmental insights.

Individual researchers and research groups seeking to delve into the region's social, environmental, or scientific aspects can benefit from RIDE's non-credit-bearing trips as well. Engage with local experts, conduct field studies, and contribute to ongoing research initiatives while exploring the diverse ecosystems, cultural traditions, and pressing issues in East Africa. Our programs provide researchers with valuable insights, access to unique resources, and opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration.

RIDE also works with leaders of student associations and groups to create unforgettable journeys that foster personal growth, teamwork, and global awareness. Whether it's a cultural immersion experience in a Maasai village, a wildlife safari in the Serengeti, or a community service project in a rural town, our non-credit-bearing trips offer unique opportunities for students to broaden their horizons, develop intercultural competencies, and create lasting memories.

For coworkers planning retreats, RIDE offers tailored programs that combine team-building activities, professional development workshops, and meaningful engagement with local communities. Immerse yourselves in the vibrant cultures of East Africa, embark on thrilling adventures such as hiking Mount Kilimanjaro or exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, and return to your workplace with strengthened bonds, enhanced collaboration, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Embrace the educational richness of East Africa through RIDE's non-credit-bearing trips and tours, designed to provide unforgettable experiences that go beyond the classroom. Whether you are a student group leader, a retreat planner, or a researcher, our programs offer profound learning, cultural exchange, and personal growth, creating memories and knowledge that will last a lifetime.
