πŸ“’ Update from Mr Pittam – Kenya Expedition πŸ“’

Our first camp with the Wildlife Foundation has been an incredible success, with students taking part in a wide range of community projects and conservation activities over the past four days.

The group has enjoyed a cultural exchange and visit to a local market, alongside making a real difference through environmental and community initiatives. Activities have included tree planting as part of an afforestation project, clearing a bee apiary, building a livestock enclosure (boma), constructing gabions to help reduce soil erosion, and exploring the conservancy while wildlife watching and setting camera traps.

The camera traps have produced some fantastic results, recording three rhinos, as well as multiple giraffes, wildebeest and antelope over three nights in the field.

Today we transfer to our second camp, with plenty of tired legs and a few blisters from all the hard work, but spirits remain high. Most importantly, everyone is doing well, there have been no issues, and the students continue to be a credit to the school.

We look forward to sharing more updates from the next stage of the expedition! 🌍🌳🦏

πŸ“’ Kenya Trip Update πŸ“’

We are delighted to share an update from Mr Pittam that all students and staff on the Kenya trip have now arrived safely and are settling in really well already! 🎊

'The video shows the first time we left a main road and headed onto a gravel path. It was a pretty exciting moment because almost immediately we spotted a giraffe standing nearby – our first real wildlife sighting! It was amazing to see one in its natural habitat and a great reminder that we're truly on safari now'πŸ¦’πŸŒ€οΈ

We look forward to updating you about their incredible experiences over the coming weeks.
Everyone at Idsall School is wishing them a fantastic and rewarding trip! 🌍✨
