Teen Summers

Service & Sustainability

Perfect for teens who light up when they can do something. Days often start in a rural village—installing fuel-efficient stoves, teaching basic English, or setting up solar lanterns—before shifting to afternoon Swahili lessons or a community soccer match. Evenings might bring a debrief around the campfire on how renewable energy changes daily life. Trips usually run 10–21 days and pair nicely with a short safari finale.

Wildlife & Conservation

Does your student binge Planet Earth? Enroll them in a summer adventure for high schoolers that partners with local conservationists. They’ll help track elephant movements, set camera traps for lions, or collect data on rhino grazing patterns. Classroom sessions dive into anti-poaching strategies; then it’s off to the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater to see the species they’re protecting.

Kilimanjaro Summit Quest

Few milestones scream independence like standing 19,341 feet above sea level. Kilimanjaro itineraries mix gradual acclimatization hikes with nightly ecology seminars—why glaciers are shrinking, how altitude affects biodiversity, what responsible trekking looks like. After the summit selfie, most programs celebrate with a two-to-four-day safari so sore legs can rest while eyes stay wide.

Safari + Coast Combo

For teens who want a bit of everything. Begin with game drives through Tarangire, Serengeti, and the iconic crater floor, spotting the “Big Five.” Fly onward to Zanzibar, where spice-market tours, reef snorkeling, and sunset dhow rides deliver coastal vibes. Cultural workshops—like Swahili drumming or batik dyeing—round out this balanced itinerary.
