School Adventures in Africa

Suggested adventures...

The origins of man are in the heart of Africa. North and West of the Sahara, the ruined cities of ancient civilisations and slave forts are testimony to how man exploited Africa's abundance and its people for centuries. South of the Sahara we understand why, as the desert gives way to landscapes of breathtaking beauty and wildlife incomparable in its diversity.

Learn about Africa's people - ancient and modern, observe the daily rituals of the animal kingdom and share our wonder at this most beautiful of continents.

What our customers said

"A continent of contrasts, Africa has lured me back time after time. To witness dawn breaking beyond the bush, to track its prolific wildlife, to enjoy the trucking and the trekking are all experiences never to be forgotten."
Former Headteacher Valerie Walker has travelled the world on 18 Explore trips.


"An excellent trip. The students thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of it. The local staff, especially the guides, were superb. Very knowledgeable, professional and well organised. The standards of care, safety & hygiene were excellent. I would recommend the trip to any other school considering such an adventure."
N. Donnelly, Leicester Grammar School, Morocco 2006


"With all the assistance we had, it was a relief to have 2 weeks in which we were so carefully taken care of. I thought that the tour leader did a very good job of relating to the students but also relating to me, as the professor in charge of them."
M Hinchman, University of Nebraska, Tunisia 2004


"An incredible journey around some of Namibia's highlights. A wide range of experiences from amazing wildlife, spectacular sand dunes and fascinating history and people. The camping really added to the experience and created a camaraderie and gave us some truly priceless memories."
