Lions of Tsavo
Hello Bellawolf,
I've been on the Lions of Tsavo project twice. I was on the first team in 2002, before I worked for Earthwatch, and I returned again in November. For me it's the best experience of Africa day and night. Let me know what type of questions you have.

Drop everything and go to Africa!
I got started on Earthwatch expeditions because I'd done the "If this is Tuesday, this must be the Serengeti" tour, and wanted to see Africa in a different way.
Oh, I liked those tours - you got to see everything. But everywhere I went, felt like I was in heaven. And there'd be my guide announcing, "Alright, dinner in an hour and have your bags packed and be ready to depart at 7:30AM." I thought, I didn't come all this way just to tear off again in an air-conditioned mini-bus.
So with trepidation, I joined my first expedition, a bird migration project in Kenya. At last I got to fulfill a fantasy, albeit a temporary one, of living in Africa, with all the comforts of a lodge no less!
Since then, I've traveled many times to Eastern and Southern Africa, both with Earthwatch expeditions (I now work at Earthwatch), and occasionally just to relax. Let me know if you need some encouragement, or have some questions. I hope you can make it too!
