The unique thing about international Elderhostel programs, simply put, is that participants are considered students and not tourists. For example, when we were on an Elderhostel safari program in Kenya, for the duration we were affiliated with Edgerton University. For the time we were close to the campus in Njoro, we actually went there for classes; elsewhere, the teachers came to us and there were lectures each evening. Marvelous! (And yes, unfortunately getting pricier of late....)
