PROGRAM OVERVIEW

If you love wildlife and dream of studying wildlife in Africa, this course is for you. In Uganda, we will volunteer at the Uganda Wildlife Education Center, living on-site and assisting veterinarians and biologist with animals like chimpanzees and lions, elephants and parrots. It’s a chance for real hands-on experiences with African wildlife. Then, it’s on safari, trekking for both chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild. Plus elephants and lions and so much more. You’ll be awe-struck. All this while studying wildlife conservation issues, animal intelligence, and our relationship to the creatures with whom we share this beautiful and fragile planet.
