Diploma in tourism and wildlife studies

The diploma in tourism and wildlife studies courses is a joint programme between Moi University (faculty of forest resources and wildlife management and tourism department) and the wildlife of Kenya (wck).

The course aims at meeting the needs of the middle cadre professionals in the tourism and wildlife sector that is currently no longer offered in Kenya. The tourist sector is one of the most important industries in our country and this is to a large degree driven by our wildlife and other natural resources.

The special features and focus of the course is its emphasis on community oriented programmes and initiatives in wildlife management and tourism.

The production of middle cadre trained and skilled personnel in both tourism and wildlife management has not been addressed in this country.

The wildlife clubs of Kenya is Africa’s leading and founder youth conservation organization. The scholarly expertise of Moi University and the practical experience of wildlife clubs of Kenya have joined in the development of this course.
