Madi

The trip was a fantastic experience. Kenya is bursting with wildlife and was the perfect setting to learn and discuss how this fascinating diversity evolved. The highlight of the trip was the research project: I spent four days studying zebra social behaviour in a National Park – amazing! It really sparked my enthusiasm to pursue life as a scientist.
