Warriors Academy Gap Year Program in South Africa

This gap year program was truly life, I've only done the first quest for now but I feel like I've grown so much as a person physically and especially mentally. The challenges I faced pushed me so hard and i accomplished things I never I could ever accomplish myself. At times i felt like giving help but thanks to support of the facilitators and my fellow warriors I managed to overcome everything thrown at me.
The lessons I learnt at warriors academy will never be forgotten as well as the friends I made

The quest was super fun, all around great experience and made me come back for the second quest. The people there are really nice and kind. The morning exercise was great i can already see a difference in my body and mind. Overall the experience was truly fun and educational at the same time. I found myself saying, “Wow look how beautiful this is.” We visited some of the most beautiful places i have ever seen in my life and made memories with people that i would never forget. Highly recommend going to warriors if you can.

My 7 weeks at Warriors were one of the best weeks of my life. I am very happy and greatfull to be part of such an amazing group of people. The activities we did were insane! Survival was my favorite trip because it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience which gave me a lot of gratefullness. I have never done so many activities in only 7 weeks. Everyday you get the chance to learn something or experience new things. I never thought it was possible to become so close with a group of strangers you have only met 7 weeks ago, but I am very gratefull I now know you can. The rafting and hiking was amazing, but doing it with the Warriors made it even better. I would recommend every student who likes outdoor activities to take part in the gap-year program. I am very happy I made the decision to go and I will take it with me forever.

Warriors was the experience of a lifetime for me. The people I met and the experiences I had were completely out of this world and honestly I wish I could go back and do it all over again. It was hard but the feeling of accomplishment I had after all the activities was unmatched. The staff and my fellow warriors were so fun and I truly felt like I could be myself around them. The food was really good. Everything was well organized and I felt truly taken care of. I got to see all around south Africa and do amazing things like shy diving and bungee jumping. Base camp is also a really beautiful place that I feel is like my second home.

Thank you Warriors academy for this life changing experience. What I did and learned her in only 7 weeks(only did 1 of the 4 Quests) was far behind my expectations. I would do it over and over again, and still not get tired from it, it was so good.

Amazing experience I will remember for the rest of my life. This program is an opportunity to grow as an individual. You get to experience life in all it's living colours. You meet people that you will remember fondly forever and you get to cross of some of those bucket list experiences before your adult life has even fully begun. For example in only seven weeks, I got my deck hand's license. I climbed some of the most beautiful cliff faces in South Africa. I learned to cook, and dance and live.

At warriors I had the best time of my life . I learned so much from it it’s hard to describe how much benefit warriors will bring to your life and how much value you can add my participating in this program. The variety of the activities which you do is very special and you won’t find this anywhere else. The people with who you surrounded with are amazing and so helpful in every way. I really really enjoyed my time here and I won’t forget this for the rest of my life. I am very sure that I will remember the things that I learned and experienced and adjust this to my daily life. Thank
You warriors for this incredible experience !

It’s amazing how close you can become to a group of strangers in just 7 weeks while all enduring the same difficult while exciting challenges. The support and enthusiasm that the facilitators and MAIs always gave the warriors was something I will never forget. Whenever I was feeling down or just not feeling up to doing something, they were always there to lift my spirits and push me to limits I never knew I could reach. I’ve never had so much fun while simultaneously being so proud of myself as I have on Warriors.
You are almost guaranteed to come back for a second quest.
