Travel - For the Fun of It

Let us be your hosts: explore the world with fellow Spartans.
If you prefer traveling with a group, we’ve got you covered. The MSU Alumni Spartan Pathways program offers opportunities for hassle-free domestic and international tours—in the company of fellow Spartans. You’ll find a wide selection of travel opportunities bursting with social, cultural, culinary and recreational activities. Tours are operated by only the most reputable and experienced travel companies.

BAG A KENYAN SAFARI

Enjoy the best of Kenya’s annual wildlife migration with MSU Professor Kay Holekamp. This nine-day safari combines magnificent wildlife viewing while staying in some of the country’s finest lodges. Begin in Nairobi and visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Center. Enjoy game drives at the Ol Pejeta and visit the Jane Goodall Chimpanzee Sanctuary. See Lake Elmenteita and spend two days at the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, one of the Serengeti’s most rewarding wildlife observation sites. It’s all bookended by a visit to Holekamp’s African-based research lab, where MSU students are studying hyenas. The adventure will be in 2021.
