Madagascar expedition reviews

Our trip to Madagascar was a fantastic experience. The expedition program offers students a wonderful opportunity to not only experience the culture in a developing country but to extend themselves to a new level. World Challenge continue to be one of the best personal development programs for young people and staff!

Raelene Curwood, School Leader, Balwyn High School

I felt that going on a World Challenge expedition opened my eyes to both the leadership potential of myself and the amazing aptitude of a functioning team as a whole. Travelling to a different culture has shown how different reality is for others in the world and such an experience has enriched the way I see my environment.

Rachel Bailes, Challenger, Balwyn High School

This expedition exceeded all expectations. Along with feeling an enormous sense of achievement, I know the skills I learnt over the past month will remain with me for the rest of my life.

Ben Burrow, Challenger, Camberwell Grammer

I didn't know what to expect from this – if the treks would be too hard, or if the group would get together. Now at the end of the trip I am truly sad to leave. Madagascar was amazing and I could never sum up this experience! The treks were hard, but each day was so different and rewarding. Loved it!
