School Tours to Africa

Those looking for a school tour of Africa will find opportunities to develop a unique insight into the challenges facing this huge and diverse continent. School groups will be given the opportunity to see the cultural practices of local communities up close, even getting involved in key issues such as community building, fair trade cooperatives, sustainable development workshops, climate and environmental issues.

So what makes school tours to Africa so good?

Being able to witness first hand many of the issues that shape the developing world is an experience that students will benefit from enormously. A school tour to Africa is a life changing opportunity for pupils.

Schools can visit the Atlas Mountains of Morocco on a Geography trip, or Table Mountain in South Africa on a rugby tour.
