African Expedition
Application Deadline: 1 December 2024
Priority Deadline: 1 November 2024
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and take in the splendor of southern Africa. Travel from the peak of Cape Town’s Table Mountain to the red sands of the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world; experience the best wildlife areas on the African continent; and stand on the edge of the "Smoke that Thunders," the mighty Victoria Falls. Wake up to the roar of lions and relax next to the waterhole as the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, black rhinoceros, elephant, and African buffalo) stroll in to quench their thirst. Visit one of the great botanical gardens of the world and meander among the more than seven thousand diverse plant species. Spend a day with the San (Bushmen) people and learn about their intimate knowledge and relationship with the natural world. Come with us, fill your soul, and let your heart beat to the pulse of Africa as you make the world your campus!
“Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you . . . of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth . . . of things which are at home, things which are abroad . . . and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms—that ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you” (D&C 88:78–80).
