COWABUNGA ALUMNI, together with Cowabunga Friends (those, like Cowabunga
Alumni, who possess a strong interest in Africa, wildlife, and/or
going on safari, but as of yet have been unable to get to Africa
on a Cowabunga Safari), form a body of sincere and dedicated people
with a strong commitment to conservation and education. They provide
many hours of volunteer service presenting programs, and assisting
in the Cowabunga offices in Topeka, Kansas and Clarinda, Iowa (i.e.,
“Main Camp” and “The Fly-camp,” respectively).
Volunteers who watch Main Camp, answer the phones, handle inquiries,
etcetera while Gary, Nancy and Brian are away hold a special title;
they are affectionately referred to as “STAR GUARDS.”
COWABUNGA ALUMNI and Cowabunga Friends have contributed a wide variety
of books, journals, videos, maps and artifacts to the Cowabunga
Safaris educational resource collection. These materials are available
for reference or on loan to students and interested parties. Alumni
have taped many of the videos while in Africa on safari.
Some COWABUNGA ALUMNI date back to the first Cowabunga safari in
1974. A number of them have been on nearly a dozen Cowabunga safaris.
Their ages on safari have ranged from seven to 88. All understand
and appreciate The Cowabunga Philosophy:
THE COWABUNGA PHILOSOPHY
• A Safari should be the most memorable travel experience
of a person’s life.
• A Safari is not just facts and photos. It should provide
the individual with a greater understanding and appreciation of
wildlife and our natural world, and of the peoples and cultures
of Africa.
