“This experience was absolutely amazing! It gave me so much clarity on what career path to follow and reaffirmed my passion for conservation & animals. I made many precious memories with my group and saw breathtaking views. South Africa is the perfect learning environment for anyone interested in conservation, ecology, or the huge diversity of wildlife found here! Learning from several diverse conservationists while also getting hands-on experience is something I have never been able to do and am so grateful I took the opportunity to”
