In this summer fundamentals course, the world-famous national parks and reserves of Kenya will be your classrooms. Through safari drives, field excursions, and an emphasis on the human role, study wildlife found nowhere else on the planet. Discuss different wildlife management and conservation approaches and learn about traditional knowledge and culture from Maasai and other community groups.

SFS students live and study at the Center for Wildlife and Human Dimensions of Conservation. The Center is located in the middle of Kenya's Rift Valley, among three world-renowned national parks. The snow-capped peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro towers over miles of savanna, replete with diverse wildlife. Our sprawling, grassy campus includes traditional thatched cabins and a central building just down the road from the small town of Kimana.
