Namibia & Botswana expedition reviews

This was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced. It was fun, challenging and extremely rewarding; I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I feel that I have grown as an individual in many respects that will benefit the rest of my life. I do not regret this at all and am completely satisfied; I got all that I wanted and more.

Jonathon Dove, Challenger, West Island School

This expedition was a complete blast for me. It presented me with diverse experiences and allowed me to come into contact with other cultures. It was a life-changing experience that will remain in my memory for the rest of my life. If I faced a similar opportunity in the future, I'd gladly do it again.

Byorg Hoon Choi, Challenger, West Island School

This has been a fantastic expedition and the students have all gained so much from it. They worked brilliantly as a team and this meant that all the phases were completed successfully. The team spirit was also fuelled by an outstanding expedition leader who never failed to have the energy and drive to motivate the team. He played games in spare moments, ran activities to test and challenge their mental and physical stamina and was a wonderful support to the other school leader and myself.

Delyth Roberts, School Leader, Sutton High

I had the time of my life on this trip and it is an experience I will never forget. The skills which I have learnt are invaluable and I have had so many amazing opportunities.

Katherine Espie, Challenger, Surbiton High School

This is my fourth expedition and the one I have witnessed the students grow enormously. They quickly grew in confidence and the adults were able to step back at an early stage. The team effort was consistent to the end; everyone looked out for each other and no-one felt left out or unsupported. I have enjoyed watching them grow and spending time with them.
