Glen Oaks Community College invites students, alumni, and local residents to take part in an unforgettable educational tour through Namibia, Africa, from May 11 to 26, 2026. The 16-day guided experience—organized through Explorica—offers participants the opportunity to discover some of southern Africa’s most breathtaking natural landscapes, cultural sites, and historic landmarks.

The itinerary includes a wide range of experiences, from a guided tour of Windhoek to excursions through the Namib and Kalahari deserts.
