Wildlife Viewing Teen Trips

What are Wildlife Viewing Teen Tours?

Wildlife viewing teen trips, often called teen safaris or wildlife summer camps, let middle and high school students get up close and personal with land and sea creatures great and small. Wildlife viewing teen trips can take the form of underwater diving programs in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Latin America, and North America, or jungle safaris in South America, rainforests, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Throughout their journey, travelers stay at hotels, campgrounds, and college dorms under the safe supervision of experienced program directors and tour guides. All teen travelers make friends quickly and form life-long bonds by sharing the wildlife viewing experience of a lifetime!

Ages, Dates, Trip Length, and Tuition Rates of Wildlife Viewing Teen Tours

Most wildlife viewing teen tours offer departure dates in June, July, and August. Teen tours can be as short as 14 days and as long as 40 days (about 2 weeks to 6 weeks in length). While each trip varies, most trips welcome travelers between the ages of 12 and 18.

Teen safari tours can range in tuition from $3,000 to $9,500 depending upon destinations, accommodations, and guides. In most cases, airfare and insurance is not included in the tuition price. It's important to check with each tour provider to see if there are additional costs involved.

Choosing the Best Wildlife Viewing Teen Trip

There are many important factors to consider when choosing a summer safari teen tour program. What are the accommodations like - dorms, hotels, hostels, or home stays? What cities, landmarks, and sights are seen? What type of wildlife is the focus - underwater, jungle, or other? What are the trip provider's emergency procedures? What costs are not included in the tuition price? What kind of training and certifications do instructors have? Do campers need to bring special equipment or clothing?
