Program Reviews

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.

I can honestly say that Warriors was one of the best experiences I've ever had, it was truly life changing and I couldn't have asked for a better gap year program. Not only were the activities exciting, amazing and well thought out but the people I met there and who run the program are some of the most genuine and kind hearted individuals, they made my experience even better and I've never felt more supported by a group of people in my life. I can't thank Warriors enough for what they've done for me and I can't wait to carry on with my Warriors journey.

This program is an awesome experience for people who love being in nature and want to develop themselves, whether that be physically or mentally. The activities take you to places and experiences that are truly amazing. Even when the activities seem like they’re a lot, they’re always something that anyone can conquer if they’re willing. The facilitators are all enthusiastic, caring people who’re always ready to help push you to improve and keep going. The base camp is in a beautiful forest on a mountain.

We went on a short hike during the first few days and afterwards we did a community service week with a group of kids getting a taste of the adventure of warriors as well as team building activities,then we did horse riding and a hike which is one of the many traveling opportunities around the country which is amazing and highly suggested for tourists, less than a week later we where half way through the quest and did tower cycle which was a scary mountain biking week where I fell off my bike and nearly died and ended up getting sum stitches which was painful but an amazing memory and a great story to tell, then for the last 2 week we went down to sodwana Bay and dived where we all saw sum beautiful turtles and many other fishes, this all added up to an amazing 7 weeks with many fun and memorable moments which was absolutely worth every drop of blood, sweat and tears

I have done so many things I would of never dreamt of doing before which often pushed me outside of my comfort zone but made me grow as a person a lot and made me learn new things about myself. Besides that I made friends for life and got to see beautiful places in South Africa. I have learnt so many life lessons that I will never forget and made memories I will be telling my children about. Leaving this place is probably the hardest thing I will ever have to do because this place has become like a home for me in the past 4 months.

My time at autumn quest absolutely flew by. I never thought that I could learn so much in the space of seven weeks. It was mentally and physically challenging but has changed me for the better. Warriors is not like any gap year program, it’s unique in the way that they understand the growth of us teenagers. Everyone involved puts 100% into everything with a bubbly and happy nature. Thank you to everyone who made my time during autumn quest so amazing. It is something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

If helps you to get a lot of confidence leadership qualities and a high level of fitness. Everyone who is involved in the Programm is fully committed and will make sure you get the best experience and grow as much as possible.
