Laura West Conservation Travel Consultant
My role is to help you find the most incredible experiences that will be the best fit for you. I support you every step of the way, from your initial consultation to when you land in southern Africa for your adventure!
Seeking a unique dissertation topic for my Geography degree, I spent five weeks in Madagascar collecting marine data, fueling my passion for conservation and earning a first-class degree. After this, I completed a three-month marine conservation internship in Mexico, deepening my appreciation for conservation work. Then I embarked on six months of solo travel!
Given my own experiences volunteering on various conservation projects and knowing what a positive impact it had on me, African Conservation Experience felt like the perfect fit to support others who feel the same way. I love working with them because it enables me to support other passionate people that want to make a difference by finding the best experience for them and putting their mind at ease about any questions or concerns they may have.
The experience of being in the bush and seeing iconic African animals for yourself is something very few people will get the opportunity to do, particularly considering how endangered some of these species are. Whether it’s big cats, rhinos, elephants or giraffes you’ve always dreamt of seeing up close, we can help find the perfect experience for you.
In my spare time, you’ll either find me walking my golden retriever, playing tennis, or reading a book!
