Study Abroad as a Tourist

As an organization, we believe that the opportunity to study abroad should not be limited to college students. That's why we offer a wide range of tourism programs that allow adults who are not in college to experience the authentic culture, history and nature of East Africa.

Our programs are designed to provide an immersive experience, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the local culture and gain a deeper understanding of the region. From guided tours led by expert guides to interactive activities such as conservation projects and community visits, our programs offer a unique and authentic study abroad experience.

Tailored to Your Interests

Whether you're interested in learning about the region's wildlife and biodiversity, or exploring the rich cultural heritage, our programs have something for everyone. We work closely with local communities and organizations to ensure that our programs are not only educational, but also promote sustainable tourism practices.

By participating in our tourism programs, adults who are not in college can gain an authentic study abroad experience in East Africa without having to enroll in a traditional study abroad program. This allows them to explore the region in a way that fits their needs, interests and lifestyle. So, whether you're a recent graduate, a retiree, or a professional looking for a change of pace, our programs are the perfect way to experience the authentic culture, history, and nature of East Africa.
