Kruger & Eswatini

Experience the best of Southern Africa — from wildlife and conservation to cultural immersion and community impact. This combined expedition gives students the chance to explore two of the region’s most remarkable environments while developing leadership, teamwork, and environmental responsibility.

Why Kruger & Eswatini?

In Kruger National Park, students step into a living classroom of wildlife and conservation. From game drives and walking safaris to camera-trap research and wildlife photography, they see firsthand how scientists and rangers protect endangered species and fragile ecosystems. Leadership workshops and group challenges complement the fieldwork, helping students grow confidence, communication, and purpose-driven leadership.

Eswatini adds a rewarding service and cultural dimension. At Mbuluzi Game Reserve, students work with the Lessons in Conservation team on Savannah preservation, then bring conservation lessons to local children in Shewula village — inspiring the next generation and seeing education in action. Hands-on research with PhD candidates studying birds, reptiles, and small predators deepens understanding of human impact on wildlife, while Eswatini’s wilderness offers space for reflection, teamwork, and discovery.

Together, Kruger and Eswatini create a unique balance of adventure, conservation, and social impact — an immersive experience where ecological understanding meets real-world leadership and community engagement.
