UGANDA/RWANDA: Story of Earth, Story of Us (Expedition #72)

A once-in-a-lifetime Endangered Species experience. Rwanda and Uganda are home to the remaining populations of the endangered mountain gorillas, which do not survive in captivity. So this is the only place in the world to see them, and you will see them in an intimate setting in their home. These triple-canopy forested mountains are also home to chimpanzees and various primates, elephants, lions, leopards, hippos, giraffe, zebra, etc. This expedition would include visits to two gorilla families, a troop of chimpanzees, troops of golden and blue monkeys. It also would include visits to communities in Rwanda and Uganda dedicated to protecting gorillas and to sustainable agriculture and to community projects committed to securing clean-drinking water and promoting health education. This expedition also includes safari game drives and boat cruises (especially along the Nile River) to see hordes of elephants, hippos, lion prides, giraffe, hosts of various antelope and birds. This you can do for 6 CORE COURSES (THEO 332 and BIOL 108/9 or BIOL 280) towards your undergraduate degree. LIMIT: 14 Students.
