10 Days Premium Kenya Savannah, Lakes and Geology Study Safari

Plan a 10-day premium Kenya student safari through Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli.

A supervised educational journey studying Maasai Mara ecology, rhino conservation, Rift Valley lakes, geothermal activity and Amboseli wetlands.

Our 10-Day Premium Kenya Savannah, Lakes & Geology Study Safari is designed for schools, universities, environmental clubs and organised youth groups seeking practical field learning. Three complete days in the Maasai Mara introduce predator-prey relationships, savannah habitats, animal behaviour, tourism and conservation. Lake Nakuru provides opportunities to study rhino protection, woodland ecosystems and lakeshore birds. Lake Bogoria adds Great Rift Valley geology, geothermal activity, flamingos and water chemistry, while Lake Naivasha introduces freshwater ecology and land-use pressures. Amboseli completes the programme with elephants, wetlands, wildlife corridors and water-resource discussions. Teachers or authorised leaders remain responsible for supervision, attendance and discipline, while our guide manages wildlife interpretation and reserve safety.
