Program Reviews

When I arrived at Warriors Academy, I had so many goals I wanted to achieve, but I didn’t know if I was able to achieve them. Not only did I achieve all the goals I had, but I also achieved so much more. Warriors made me push myself and made me grow so much as a person. Their program will help you find yourself and friends who you know will be around for a lifetime. The warriors academy team was so supportive throughout the entire journey and made us feel so safe and helped grow our confidence. Warriors Academy was the best decision I have ever made.

I enjoyed the activities, and I got progressively stronger over time. I was always stressed about not being on time or not knowing the itinerary of every day, as we knew very little information about future plans.

I felt a lot of frustration and burnout throughout this journey, but it was worth it

Warriors gave me structure in my daily life and helped me to become an adult. It was a wonderful, adventurous gap year, and the supervisors did everything to keep you safe and enthusiastic. The activities were fun, nocturnal, and beautiful. There was this one guy called Dylan, he was the best facilitator for me at Warriors, he has the kindest heart, and he is just always positive, and just being around him, it's a vibe. He really made me enjoy Warriors a lot. Warriors in general was avibe I will recommend sending your kids to this life changing gap year program

Warriors have been very helpful in developing my personal growth. It challenges you with activities that test your limits to force you to step out of your comfort zone.

The friendships I gained from this experience have been made stronger by doing the activities together.

The MAIs and facilitators have made me feel safe throughout the whole experince. Not only do they make you feel safe, but they also help you gain that confidence to push yourself further and help achieve your personal goals.

Coming to Warriors was the best decision I’ve made to spend a gap year

As a Warrior, it's been a pleasure to do some of these activities. A lot of people do not get to experience these kinds of things. It is such an honour to be able to participate in these activities. Yeah, the things we just would like rat hiking cycle, and so much more all of these things. A lot of people cannot participate because they have too much stuff going on in their lives. It feels amazing to be able to do so much more than I was. This is why I signed up for Warriors Gap, your program quest one.

Was amazing, made alot of new friends and created amazing bonds along the way, the facilitators and mai's were amazing and attentive, no time was wasted and we were constantly busy and going onto new adventures, the rafting and the cycling safari were my favourite activities so far, we were constantly pushing the limits and building character, had the most fun doing the cliff diving on the rafting and helping eachother get through the obstacles and including everyone, was an amazing adventure that i will never forget

Had a super sick time. But I had a pretty enjoyable time with a lot of fun stuff, cycling, rafting, swimming, backpacking, and a bunch of other small activities within that, like Cliff Jumping, belaying, and Repelling. And another bunch of stuff just like that that was really funny and enjoyable. It’s a nice vacation/gap your program. Focusing on developing yourself. I would recommend it if you’re trying to do some character building in a different country.

I can honestly say I’ve never experienced something like this in my life, from the mentally strengthening workshops and sessions to the amazing expeditions, trips and workshops, this place has shifted my outlook on both myself and life, I’m here for the whole year but have only experienced the first quest so far and I can’t express the excitement I have for what’s to come. I thoroughly believe that everyone should experience this program before venturing out into the open world left to fend for themselves

This program opened my eyes to the different cultures, people, and lifestyles, breaking out of our comfort zone, constantly pushing myself to the limit, whilst keeping us safe. This program is life-changing and is the best place to be as it gives you the tools to handle life’s challenges

Also I love the cultural scenes that I got to see and eating the cultural food of Limpopo.

The Warriors program was life changing for me and eye opening, and I couldn’t emphasize more on how good this program can be for you if you're young and lost (I ate a giant worm which was a superior taste)

Warriors fulfilled my expectations and I learned a lot about myself and others. The experiences and trips were a lot of fun and challenging. We first did a 5 day hike which was hard due to weather conditions and injuries and there wasn‘t much of a payoff. Then we did a 10 day cycle safari where we cycled approximately 450 km. It was very challenging especially in the hot sun but we did a lot of fun activities. Afterwards we did a 3 day Kruger hike where we saw some cool animals and slept in the wild. Lastly we did a 5 day rafting trip with fun cliff diving and water activities. I was able to improve my mental and physical health and I hope to carry the habits and mindset I have gained moving forward.
