A-LEVEL & GCSE BIOLOGY FIELD STUDY
Ecology in action in Kenya
A-Level and GCSE Biology field trips with real ecology fieldwork. Your students study savanna ecosystems, wildlife corridors, and conservation science — led by the researchers and communities doing the work.
Built for your specification, not bolted on
Every day in the field maps directly to Biology / Ecology curriculum topics — designed for uk gcse & a-level biology teachers.
Ecosystem Ecology
Study savanna ecosystems first-hand, including trophic levels, energy flow through food webs, and nutrient cycling in one of Africa's most complex biomes.
Biodiversity & Conservation
Explore the Kasigau wildlife corridor — a critical conservation area. Students conduct species identification, measure biodiversity indices, and evaluate conservation strategies.
Population Ecology
Apply population sampling techniques to real wildlife populations. Study carrying capacity, predator-prey dynamics, and population growth models in the field.
Adaptation & Evolution
Observe Kenyan wildlife adaptations in their natural habitat. Document natural selection in action and study how organisms have evolved to thrive in savanna conditions.
Human Impact on Environment
Investigate deforestation, land use change, and sustainable agriculture. See how community-led conservation balances human needs with environmental protection.
Practical Field Skills
Master sampling techniques, data collection methods, and transect surveys. Students gain hands-on experience with quadrats, line transects, and statistical analysis.
Not a holiday with a worksheet
This is not a safari with a biology worksheet. Every trip includes structured pre-trip preparation, on-ground fieldwork led by ecologists and local experts, and post-trip analysis designed to produce coursework-ready data.
Pre-Trip
Curriculum modules covering Kenyan ecosystems, species identification guides, and research question development. Students arrive field-ready.
On-Ground
Daily ecology fieldwork sessions with local conservation scientists. Students collect primary data using professional sampling techniques in real ecosystems.
Post-Trip
Structured data analysis connecting fieldwork to exam content. Students produce coursework-ready ecological investigations and biodiversity reports.

How does your current biology / ecology trip compare?
Most school trips tick the curriculum box. But do they create lasting impact for the communities you visit? Score your programme in 5 minutes.

Ready to bring biology off the page?
Your students don't need another diagram of an ecosystem. They need to stand in a savanna, count species in a quadrat, and see ecology happening in real time.
