Join the
African Edventure on a 18,000-mile expedition through
ten African countries to England. The trek—in a
restored, 26-year-old, satellite-linked Series III Land
Rover—takes students on adventures from the world's
highest bungee jump, to illustrate gravity and
acceleration, to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro as a geography
project. |
The
African Edventure is designed for schools as an
interactive educational project. The Edventure
integrates computers and the Internet with
traditional teaching and provides a live
resource with Expedition team members. |

The
African Edventure departed Pretoria, South
Africa and will travel through Namibia,
Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique (unless they
bypass Mozambique and go through Zambia),
Malawi, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Uganda, and into
Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Sudan. They will
leave Africa by boat across the Red Sea from
Port Sudan into Saudi Arabia. From Saudi they
will travel through Jordan, Syria, Turkey, and
Greece, then boat to Italy, France, and the
United Kingdom. |
