Science and Conservation Safaris

Howard has, over the years, built up a unique series of connections with those conducting some of the more interesting research projects in African science and natural history.

Howard's safaris can offer the great opportunity to visit these projects and get to know the people who are out there in the field; from following the celebrated elephant families in the shadow of Kilimanjaro; digging for fossils of our human ancestors on the shores of Lake Turkana in the tradition of the Leakey family's pioneering work here; to learning what’s involved in taking blood samples and tooth measurements from a darted carnivore!

These special relationships are enhanced by the presence of Stephanie, who is herself part of Africa’s longest running hyena research unit. Her ability to share her knowledge with guests while you are out on safari adds wonderful new insights to the natural world of Africa.
