The Cave Exploration Group of East Africa (CEGEA) was founded in 1964 to promote speleology (the study of caves) and encourage the preservation and conservation of caves throughout Eastern Africa. From time to time CEGEA organises trips and expeditions to the caves, which may be situated in remote areas, and the results of the explorations, descriptions and studies of these are published in the Group’s Newsletters and Bulletins. The Group maintains a library and contacts with other international cavers and caving organisations.
Membership is open to anyone interested in the sport or the science of caving, cave fauna and flora, cave photography or just want to explore one of the last places on the planet that man has yet to tread or you just want to see what lies off the beaten track.
