WINTER: December 26, 2007 – January 16, 2008
This three-week safari consists of a ten-day climb of Kilimanjaro in a scenic route, followed by ten days of safari focused on wildlife viewing at Tarangire and Manyara National Parks and in the Serengeti ecosystem (Ngorongoro Crater and Ndutu), meeting tribal people (Hadza bushmen) near Lake Eyasi and studying various forest and resource management issues in neighboring areas.
Application Deadline: October 15, 2007. We work on a first-come-first-serve basis, however, so a program may actually close before the deadline. Applications may be taken after the deadline if a position is available. Contact the International Programs Office on available space. Group limit is 10 participants.
Go to the Applications page to find out how to get an application.
Open to students and non-students alike. Priority is given to registered UWSP and UW-System students, but others, may participate either for credit or as auditors on a space-available basis and at the same cost. All participants who will be registered for the credits will be enrolled in a college course and will be expected to attend all meetings, lectures, and other scheduled activities before, during, and after the study tour. Pre-tour preparation and post-tour follow up will be part of the requirement for credit. All participants must be able to participate in the program at the college level, and stand up to the considerable physical rigors of this course.
You must obtain Dr. Schabel’s written permission to participate.
