Tanzania, Unit A: Wildlife Conservation & Tribal Life
This blog has been set up to allow family and friends of participants in the National Geographic Student Expedition to Tanzania to check in on the progress of the group.
Anna Estes' introduction to eastern Africa began as a child when her parents were studying wildebeest in Tanzania's SerengetiNational Park. Anna became involved with National Geographic in the late 1990s when she worked with her father on a NGS-sponsored study of ungulate populations in Ngorongoro Crater. It was this work which led to the publication of one of her photographs in National Geographic magazine (December 1998). Anna has since received her Masters of Science in Wildlife Ecology, and is a PhD candidate in Ecology at the University of Virginia. She is currently working on her dissertation on movement and habitat use among elephants in multiple land-use areas. Anna will join the group during the safari.
