SVSU-OLLI Learning Trip: Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar
In total, our adventure spanned seven flights and more than 17,000 air miles, plus over 1,500 jeep-driven miles — carrying us from the bush savanna of Samburu National Reserve and the breathtaking Rift Valley at Lake Naivasha to the legendary grasslands of the Maasai Mara. We wandered the historic streets of Stone Town in Zanzibar, explored its aromatic spice farms, and paid tribute at the Freddie Mercury Museum before concluding our wildlife journey at Mikumi National Park in Tanzania.
Along the way, we immersed ourselves in new languages, vibrant cultures, and incredible cuisine — and we came home transformed.
