Reviews
The CAS trip to Kenya was an eye-opening experience. I learned so much about wildlife conservation, and the community service projects really allowed me to connect with the local people. It was a journey that I’ll never forget!
The wildlife safaris were incredible, and I loved being able to contribute to real conservation efforts. This trip helped me build a strong sense of responsibility and gave me a deeper appreciation for the world around me.
The CAS trip to Kenya was a life-changing experience. From working with the local community to seeing the Big 5 on safari, every moment was unforgettable. It gave me a new perspective on global conservation and the power of cultural exchange.
The combination of wildlife safaris and hands-on community service made it both exciting and meaningful. I’ve gained so much from this experience, and it’s truly inspired me to continue making a positive impact in the world.
