Prescott AZ (January 7, 2013) – Lynne Leakey will guide a Yavapai College EDventures tour to Kenya later this year and, to encourage interest in the tour, she is presenting a free slide show of her extensive African experiences at 10:00 in the morning on Saturday, January 19, 2013. The Yavapai College Prescott campus showing, 1100 East Sheldon Street, requires reservations due to limited seating. 

Leakey calls Sedona Arizona home when not in Africa. She has observed and studied the wildlife, ecology and people of central Africa throughout her career. She leads custom safaris and also lectures regularly on topics such as the social behavior of elephants, the Maasai people and the national parks of East Africa.

Leakey will be the naturalist guide for the EDventures safari to Kenya, August 7-19, 2013. This unique safari combines wildlife viewing with cultural exchanges and educational service to schools and orphanages. With a focus on children’s education, EDventures travelers will visit local villages and schools and work directly with the children.

Other highlights include a visit to a women’s beading cooperative that helps finance childhood education, a visit to an elephant orphanage to interact directly with the animals, a tour of a tea and coffee farm, and guided tours of the Nairobi National Museum and the Karen Blixen house. Blixen is the author and central character of the movie “Out of Africa.”

Details of the August tour are available online (click here) and reservations are available by calling 928-717-7755. The event is listed on the SedonaEye.com Calendar of Events.
