Tsavo Lions

I was always interested in Earthwatch's tour, but haven't been able to join one yet. I'm really interested in Tsavo Lion expedition.
Anyone who has joined this tour, could you please tell me what it was like? Or could you give me any advices if you have one? Looking forward to hear from you.

>Dear Earthwatch staffs,
Coud you please plan this tour on 2010 also. Looking forward to hear some updated news.

Ok, I finally did it! I've signed up for the Meerkat expedition in September. If anyone has any suggestions or advice I'd really appreciate it.

Cheetahs anyone?

Hi, I am a past Cheetah Project volunteer in Namibia (March 2001). If anyone can say that Earthwatch changed his/her life, that would be me. After that project, I never left the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). I was hooked as soon as I realized what an intelligent approach CCF has: you have to help people in order to conserve wildlife. If you'd like to learn about my experience with CCF, you can visit my web site, www.geocities.com/crocsetal and click on Working with Cheetahs. I think cheetahs are amazing, and I thank Earthwatch for having introduced me to this amazing project.

Whales and Dolphins

I'm going on Whales and Dolphins of Abaco Island, Bahamas end of June and can't wait to go. I've read several of the recommended reading and already have learned a lot about these waterbound mammals. Anyone been on this expedition before, if so any comments?

Samburu Initiative Question

Hi! My name is Shilpa and I am a student fellow going on the Samburu Initiative Research Project in Kenya this summer. I am very excited about this opportunity. I just have some questions for any past participants. 1) What did you wear? Do we need to wear linen pants? Boots? 2) When you stayed in Nairobi before the rendezvous, did you go into Nairobi? Is it safe to walk the city alone?

Thank you so much! Also, if you have feedback regarding how amazing your experience was or any words of caution, please reply!

Does anyone have any other trips to recommend?
