A&K Safari Scholarships in association with Tatler Magazine offer 3 School Leavers a unique opportunity to experience Africa’s amazing wildlife, culture and way of life in Africa
A gap year can be a highly rewarding and character-building experience. In recognition of this, we are launching the A&K Safari Scholarship, in association with Tatler Magazine. This annual initiative will give up to three school leavers a unique opportunity to experience Africa’s amazing wildlife, culture and way of life. In line with our heritage and educational values, A&K is offering a unique gap year experience. The successful candidates will work in one of our camps in Africa for a three month period in 2011/12 where they will have the opportunity to appreciate the art of safari from camp operations to client hospitality and the subtleties of bushcraft.
