Out of the classroom and into an adventure

We've been supporting volunteers to enjoy unforgettable experiences since 1999.

Who are these experiences for?

Everyone!

What could you be doing?

With us, you can go on a unique adventure to southern Africa, learn new skills, and gain confidence that will help you progress onward into academic journeys or the world of work.

Youโ€™ll connect with nature, travel and visit exclusive locations, make new friends, and most importantly - have a long-lasting impact whether volunteering for just one week or multiple months!

Your future, your adventure

Embark on a personalised experience, tailored to you, built around your individual goals and ambitions, with 24/7 support in South Africa should you need it.

Step out, stand out

Step out of your comfort zone and stand out amongst the other CVs - this meaningful experience will support future studies or give you an insight into future careers.

Learn it, live it

From discovering new cultures to meeting likeminded people, build your confidence and knowledge, while making a lasting, positive impact on the environment.

Reviews

Stories, tips, recommendations - they're the glue that binds the traveller community together. So if you're planning a trip, why not hear what previous travellers have to say about their experience? And if you're just returning from Africa, we'd love it if you shared a few words for travellers who might follow in your footsteps.
