Warriors Academy Gap Year Program

first quest with warriors made me realise how strong mentally and physically I can be and to push myself to constantly improve. I've never felt better, majority of the time I was genuinely happy and wouldn’t exchange this experience for anything - all the memories and moments that I will keep with me for the rest of my life, I met a lot of new people with a lot of different personalities and made some good friends and created some amazing bonds. At times the rules got overwhelming and everything felt time pressured and didn’t feel like we hade enough time to get things done

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
stick to the rules and don’t break any rules or take advantage if the opportunities they give you
Pros
  • building new incredible friendships
  • travelling
  • experience new things
Cons
  • no phones
  • strict rules
  • not enough free time

First Quest

I really enjoyed the first quest, it was fun and we did so many new things and plenty of activities. I overall enjoyed everything and have never been happiet with my physical condition.The showed me that I was worth way more than I thought and that I can accomplish anything If I put my mind and heart to it.I learned that I should never see a bad expierience as a bad thing and that I should take it in a positive perspective and learn from it .I am now permanently motivated to do what ever comes up with a smile.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I was really shocked about the fact that I completed everything,I thought that it wqs impossible but with all the motivation and support I was able to do what I needed to do without beign scared
Pros
  • Making good friends

Warriors summer 2024

I have grown a lot in mental and physical strength after summer quest, my mental health has mostly improved due to the discipline I have gained from the various routines and activities that we have done during these past 7 weeks. The environment at base camp gives you the constant opportunity to improve whether it be your running time, swimming, cycling or your own self mastery. The facilities and community of staff and MAIs are very good and can usually answer any questions or solve problems that you have.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice would be to come here with low expectations and take the leap of faith that you will enjoy it. Be ready to go outside your comfort zone and grow with the group and as an individual.
Pros
  • Good people
  • Good weather
  • Lots of activities to fill your day
Cons
  • Food is mid but not bad
  • Wi-Fi is bad
  • Strict on punctuality, collective punishment

Student at warriors academy

Very good for getting to know about yourself and pushes you outside of your comfort zone.You get to experience it with very unique people and people from overseas which is interesting because you get to learn about them.It makes you think outside of the box amd you get to do things you never thought you would be able to do.You gain alot of experience about how and why certain things are done and you learn about nature and how to do different things. You get a chance to make friends with people you’d think you would normally make friends with.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
A black leopard
Pros
  • You get to learn about yourself
  • Its a very interesting experience
  • Did things I wouldn’t think i would do

Warriors First Quest 2024

I have never done any extreme adventure which made this program really fun. I loved making connections and meeting new people from different backgrounds.i enjoyed the cycle safari which was so much fun and I enjoyed the traditional African food. I loved seeing myself progress in fitness level as the quest went on. The facilitators and Mais are absolutely amazing and I have got to know all of them quite well. The area is beautiful and lush and green and worth visiting. The farmstall across the road is absolutely amazing.

What was your funniest moment?
Someone laughing at something that wasn't funny.

Great gap year

Warriors academy is a very fun program to do when you have a gap year, even for just one quest. You learn a lot about your mental state but also how to push your limits. It teaches you as well to be on your own and be more responsible. The group is very fun and you will make friends for life. All the staff are always there to help you with whatever and are really good listeners and give great advise. I would recommend this to everybody. This was honestly a great time that I will remember for the rest of my life.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don’t worry to much. It will all happen at its time. The staff doesn’t tell you to much about what your doing in the next few days, so just let it all happen and push yourself to finish strong.
Pros
  • Great staff
  • Fun group of people
  • Good activities
Cons
  • Staff not always to clear about what’s happening

Warriors Summer Quest 2024

I had a great time developing my personal growth, and will remember this program forever. There are lots of people and staff that welcomed me here with open arms. I came to this program from a long ways away so I had to find the courage to push myself to join. I am so glad that I did, because the activities I performed, the people I met, and the mental fortitude I gained are all unforgettable. Lastly, I am leaving this program in the best physical shape I’ve been in for a very long time. Thank you warriors academy.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Having to travel so far. As an American it was a big culture shock but the people and staff here helped me adjust quickly
Pros
  • Physical fitness improved
  • Social bonds increased
  • Easier to get out of comfort zone
Cons
  • Immature peers
  • Staff was not the best at communicating
  • Rental equipment wasn’t great

Warriors Summer Quest

There is almost too much to talk about with the warriors. The mental mastery and growth I’ve had here was unmatched to anything I’ve done to this point. I was very nervous traveling across the world to a foreign country but the staff and people here are one of a kind. I’ve made connections here that I feel will last a lifetime. As an American there were so many experiences that I will never be able to have in the states just because of the natural wildlife and scenery. If you’re looking to push your limits this is a great place to be.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Make sure you follow the packing list exactly. There is a reason behind every item and you will regret missing something.
Pros
  • Personal Growth
  • Lifelong Friends
  • Beautiful scenery
Cons
  • Repetitive food
  • Away from family

Warriors 2024

Comming to warriors I expected nothing like this, I expected this comfortable activities. I was so wrong, the staff team pushed everyone out of their comfortzone and did crazy stuff, they knew what they were doing and is so well trained noone got bad injuries. This also opened my eyes to what is outside the world. They pushed me so much that I did stuff I did not think was possable for me to do, they are always so supportive and always check safety before anything else. They wont force you to do stuff but push you far enough for you to do it yourself.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
At the Nyani Culture Village we ate Mopani Worms
Pros
  • Getting to know different tribes
  • How they eat
  • Deep in the wild
