University Study Abroad Safaris
Travel can be the greatest education received. We take pride in our unique and transformative university travel programs, designed to complement your specific area of study through practical work in the field or credit yielding components under the supervision of industry leaders.
At Southern Sky Adventures we work closely with university faculty heads, alumni travel organizations and volunteer work coordinators to develop tours that are specialized in areas of respective interest. By partnering with local and accredited academic institutions and research teams we have gained valuable insight and the knowledge required for such bespoke itineraries. Though our focus remains firmly on authentic African learning opportunities, we enrich our programs with adventure activities, compassionate community work and meaningful wildlife conservation experiences.
We can accommodate groups of all sizes across a diversity of age groups, from destinations throughout Africa. Our locally based operations team will keep things running smoothly. From bustling cities to remote wild locations; from pristine beaches to expansive mountain ranges and sunset safaris, Africa has it all. Every mile traveled will reveal something of her vibrancy, adventure and diversity of her people, culture and places.
