Everything was pretty great, would have been fun to possibly do more volunteer work with some of the locals

I loved everything about this trip. We slept in tents and it was a really neat experience to wake up to a beautiful view in the middle of nowhere. Academics were intriguing because we were on the land we were studying with the tribes we were studying. That doesn't get to happen often.

GS: Tanzania is one of the immersive and engaging programs that I've ever experienced. The connections that Dorobo Safaris Company has to the local people are incredible.

Many people think that going on study abroad means there will be no real learning or no real work involved, which is definitely a common misconception, especially with this course. We may spend a lot of time hiking and hanging out, but there is much to be taught, discussed and learned on this trip. Every moment is a learning opportunity and should be treated as such. At the same time however, it doesn't ever feel like you're actually in class. There is a decent amount of work associated with this course, nothing unbearable though & it's all very interesting. As for location, Tanzania is by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen; the people are wonderful and I would go back in a heartbeat if I could. Interacting with locals is a constant opportunity and I highly recommend taking advantage of it. You meet some very interesting people on this journey and what you take away from the experience is priceless, at least in my mind. We spent a great portion of our trip on excursions, whether it was in the car off-roading through the bush, or taking a seven mile hike across the savanna basin to our next camp, we were always on the move. This trip wasn't necessarily about making a difference, (i.e. volunteering), it was more of a learning opportunity; however, you are definitely able to make some amazing connections through guides, etc. which can open numerous doors to volunteer opportunities in their organizations.

When we met the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter/gatherer groups in the entire world, I felt honored to even be in their presence. The harmony they live in blew me away and I feel like our short time with them was the most amazing experience of my life. With less than 1000 people left, it was like we were getting to know the last of our ancestors.

The course provides a natural way to learn hands on anthology while also enjoying your trip. Learning the information came naturally and so I will always remember the content. I didn't want to leave!

The professor and safari group are awesome. They both made the experience hands down. They care about our experience in Tanzania and work hard to make it the best it could be.

This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and I would recommend it to anyone feeling brave enough to take a trip out into the bush of Africa.
