Outside the classroom is where learning comes to life.
Enrich your curriculum with meaningful multisensory learning experiences or add a character-building adventure to your next holiday program.
Our school group programs are designed for learners between the ages of 14 to 19 years. The structure typically includes an authentic conservation exercise, cultural immersion in the form of a community outreach initiative and land or water-based adventure activities. Although the general theme is usually safari, the adventure never ends there. Our groups visit on average 3 to 4 diverse regions per trip, maximizing their exposure to various biomes, cultures and area specific wildlife. Students will enjoy surfing and snorkeling from pristine beaches, scenic mountain hikes, truly wild game drives and bush walks, direct interactions with the local community, traditional cooking lessons, star gazing and so much more! All componentsare facilitated by qualified and reputable experts in the field. We work closely with our long standing and credible suppliers to ensure the safety and enjoyment of each participant.
Our team of passionate youth travel experts is ready to assist with the planning of your school’s next adventure. Your needs and desired outcomes will be carefully considered to ensure we deliver an exceptional, life-changing and truly unforgettable experience for your learners.
