During the Conservation, Sustainability, and Ecotourism Education (CSEE) Education Abroad (EA)
experience, MSU students will act as the conduit between local students and ecosystems of South Africa in the context of conservation, sustainability, and ecotourism education. MSU students will have an opportunity to work with diverse populations of local youth of South Africa who reside in areas where they have little contact with local natural resources’ opportunities within their native country.
MSU students will also study local ecotourism and how fauna and flora unique to South Africa plays an
important role in the tourism industry. Students will learn from community and local ecosystems to better understand concepts and challenges of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity in the context of South Africa.
Example educational and ecotourism experiences include but not limited to:
- Wildlife Game Drives
- Sundowner in Kruger National Park
- South African Braai at a local game preserve
- Sustainable and Responsible Tourism in Kruger National Park
- Local Village Tour and Community Panel
- Regenerative Agriculture
- Drakensberg Mountains and Biodiversity Tour
- Lodge Diversity and Photographic Tourism
- Walking Safaris
