NAMIBIA 1: Story of Earth, Story of Us (Expedition #68)

A once-in-a-lifetime African safari experience. Namibia is home to the oldest hunter-gather culture in the world and to the largest elephants in the world. Namibia is also a refuge for remaining black rhinos, white rhinos, pangolin, desert elephant, and cheetah. This expedition includes visits to Damaraland and the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world. We also visit traditional bushmen land, the Erongo Mountains, and Etosha National Park, the flagship park of Namibia. This expedition includes experiences of lions feeding up close and intimate visits to a rhino orphanage to meet orphans and learn about their stories and challenges that Namibians face in protecting them. Additionally, we also get the rare experience of tracking Damaraland’s rare desert elephants (only about 40 left in the world). Finally, we do game drive safaris to see wild hippo, rhinos, and matriarchal herds of elephants as well as cheetah, oryx, kudu, wildebeest, zebra, impala, springbok, baboon, jackal, giraffe, hippo, and lions. It is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! You will also receive 6 of 9 CORE CREDITS towards your undergraduate degree. Limit: 13 Students.
