Academic & Research Expeditions in Tanzania with Wild Things Safaris
For over two decades, Wild Things Safaris has partnered with a diverse range of schools and educational institutions from Tanzania, Europe, and beyond. We have proudly hosted students from prestigious schools such as Winchester College, Dulwich College, Ampleforth College, International School of Tanganyika, Dar es Salaam International Academy, HOPAC Tanzania, Braeburn Tanzania, Kampala International School Uganda, and many more.
Unforgettable Educational Adventures
We design and deliver a wide variety of expeditions and field trips tailored for schools, universities, scout groups, and youth organizations. Our programs blend academic enrichment, adventure, and cultural immersion to ensure every participant gains invaluable skills and lasting memories.
Our curriculum-linked expeditions cover everything from biology coursework in Tanzania’s rich biodiversity hotspots to historical tours of Zanzibar’s slave markets. With a former UK science teacher on our team, we provide expert guidance and comprehensive resources to support coursework and research projects.
Students can also embrace adventure by climbing iconic peaks like Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Meru, trekking through the Southern Pare Mountains, or participating in bushcraft and beach survival courses.
Wildlife and conservation experiences include world-renowned safaris in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, wildlife identification skills development, and hands-on conservation projects such as tree planting along the Kikavu River or volunteering at the Kilimanjaro Centre for Rescue, Education & Wildlife (C.R.E.W).
We place great emphasis on community engagement, encouraging students to work alongside local communities on renovation projects, participate in shared activities with Tanzanian schoolchildren, and gain a deeper understanding of rural life and global citizenship.
Every trip is fully supported with risk assessments, pre-departure briefings, resource packs, and a dedicated expedition leader. Safety is our top priority, and we are proud to have maintained a perfect safety record throughout our history.
