“The Utica Zoo is thrilled to be working with Classic Escapes to host this trip to Tanzania!” said Heath. “Not only is this an opportunity for a once in a lifetime adventure, but it is also a chance for our community to see firsthand the animals that we as the zoological and conservation community work so hard to protect in their wild habitats.

“The animals we care for here at the Utica Zoo are ambassadors for their wild counterparts and to be able to go into the wild and see these animals for ourselves is a wonderful opportunity to bring our story full circle. I hope anyone who is even remotely interested will attend our informational session to learn more about this unique opportunity.”
