Norm:Could you describe a typical day on one of these tours and what can one expect by way of lodging and meals?Daniel: Most student groups ideally seek out for Special Screws Manufacturers budget accommodation. We usually seek group accommodation in safe and ideally located hostels or camping sites often inside the national parks. Meals are also prepared by people grounded in such services and picnics are well arranged depending on a day's program.We are always keen to have visitors experience African cuisine and drinks and our meal times are always very exciting and fabulous!!Norm:Where do these tours originate and how does one reach this area from North America or Europe?Daniel: Ideally we prefer adequate interaction with potential participants, mostly their lecturers who organize it for them. Nairobi is the economic hub of East and Central Africa and most airlines land here. From here there can be transfers to the countryside depending on the theme of each visit or the agreed itinerary.Nairobi is quite accessible from any part of US or UK we also book air tickets for customers from any part of the world.Norm:How popular are these tours and what is the average age group of the participants?
Daniel: Study tours are the norm so top speak. They are becoming even more popular with Western institutions that have come to appreciate the need for practical exposure of undergraduate and graduate students in tropical ecology especially. Also the fact that Africa offers very unique ecosystems and other natural resources that are very useful in learning.Majority of the people we handle are university students. We have also had local high cost secondary schools but we have not handled secondary schools outside Africa. From this year we shall be having Youth Camps in Lake Nakuru National Park and Mt Elgon which will last for two weeks and will be open to secondary school youth from any part of the world. It will be a very exciting opportunity for youth to interact with youth from different cultures and backgrounds in an atmosphere full of ambience, ecological peace, environmental education, social serenity etc.Norm:What is the average cost of these tours and when is the best time to participate in one of these tours?Daniel: Costs vary according to group size, specific needs and places being visited (eg national parks charge fees while areas outside may not also camping may be cheaper than lodging etc). But on average we can a guiding cost is 300 dollars per participants.
