Warriors Academy Gap Year Program in South Africa

I really loved my time at warriors. I got a chance to face my fear of heights and conquer it through bungee jumping and skydiving! The staff are very supportive and really want what’s best for you. I would definitely recommend this program for anyone who loves having adventures in the outdoors. There is also an element of traveling that I found really appealing this quest. We went on a three week Cape Town trip exploring local malls and even hiking up table mountain. The view was absolutely beautiful!

It was a beautiful experience. Mentaly and physcially it changed me in a good way. Loved the people here and the activeties. You overcome your fears with the creazy thinks you do hear. the guidance here was great and they help you through everything if you don't succeed. they push you until you can no longer do what is a good thing. It feels like you have become a family here with the people here. you become super close with everyone and it feels like you have known everyone for years I loved this.

During the quest at warriors I had the best time, learning many new skills and techniques which help me develop myself. Meeting new people and being accepted into the warriors family, everyone is super friendly and kind. Overall it was a amazing experience and I would love to do it again. I suggest this program to anyone who enjoys learning new skills and techniques along with people who enjoy out door activities, I personally have only been here for one quest but if I knew about warriors academy before I would have done all 4 of the quests.

This gap year program helps students develop personally and mentally with the helps of workshops and crazy adventure’s! i enjoyed every second of the 4th quest and am excited for next 3 quest! The quest and friends i made were amazing, you make friends for life here. The connection between the warriors, MAI’s and facilitators are so good, they become your family! I will defiantly miss every single person of this quest, luckily for me the future MAI’s will be there next year as well! I can’t wait till next quest!

I signed up to Warriors academy because I wanted to push my mental and physical limits; Warriors gave me numerous opportunities to do this over the course of the 7 weeks I was there, and provided incredible support and guidance throughout.
The values Warriors promotes are gratitude, integrity, collaboration and compassion, and I truly felt that everyone involved pushed themselves to demonstrate these every single day. This created an incredible team, with everyone encouraging and celebrating each other.
Both the facilitators, and all the MAIs were absolutely incredible; they were super encouraging and supportive, and attentive to anything we made need help with (whether it was emotional support, or fixing bikes, carrying heavy bags etc). Most importantly, they all had incredible positive attitudes towards everything, which hugely uplifted the entire team, and generally created an atmosphere of energy and enthusiasm.
The other Warriors were also hugely welcoming and generous, and made a massive effort to welcome the newbies.
This quickly made the team feel like a family, and the love and support I received from everyone quickly made me feel like a valued part of that.

Overall, Warriors provided an incredible, varied programme packed with adventure, new experiences, and huge opportunity for personal development. It’s hard to just stay for one quest, as you’ll undoubtedly want to join for the rest !

I had the most incredible experience with Warriors Academy! From the moment I signed up, I was blown away by the organization and attention to detail. The variety of activities they offered catered to every adventurer's dream – from thrilling mountain hikes to heart-pounding cycles. The knowledgeable guides (MAI's and Facilitators) were not only experts in their fields but also fantastic companions, ensuring both safety and fun. The program's commitment to sustainable travel practices impressed me, showing a genuine concern for the environment. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was delicious and locally sourced. I couldn't have asked for a better way to challenge myself, meet like-minded explorers, and create memories that will last a lifetime. This adventure program deserves a solid five stars for exceeding all my expectations!

This was an absolutely fantastic experience and full of so many opportunities. It has been life changing, I now do things that I wouldn't have even tried before. I have become an active participant in my own life. Warriors Academy has showed me my strengths and weaknesses, and provided an environment for me to thrive. Through the guidance of the team and the challenging activities I have grown as an individual, it is the perfect environment for self-development, and a wonderful opportunity to explore more of the world!

Warriors is the best experience you can ever put yourself through, you grow emotionally and physically, you learn a lot about yourself and in life. I would highly recommend Warrios to anyone. Warriors taught me that true happiness is a direct result of a grateful heart , taking the chances are worth it and at the end of the day you only get one life so live it as if tomorrow is your last day. Warriors gave me the confidence to say that i am enough , and everyone needs a strong mindset in the world we live in today, and Warriors definitely gives you that strength.
