Program Reviews

Warriors Academy South Africa is a bucket list item for any Gap year candidate. This is our second time around, with my second son attending Warriors Academy. My son has finished his matric year in 2020 and is part of the 2021 Warriors group who just completed his first Summer Quest. I can highly recommend Warriors Academy for anybody. I cannot explain how much he has grown in the 7 weeks as a Warrior. Mentally, emotionally and physically stronger than ever. We cannot wait for Autumn Quest.
Keep up the excellent work.

This program gives people a chance to grow as an individual whilst making some of the most unique and extraordinary experiences and memories. Worriers has
Taught me so much about myself and about the world around me. This program pushes you mentally and physically but this program would not be the same without the people that are there to assist you and have dedicated their lives in helping people reached their personal goals and help them figure out what they want to do with the rest of their lives.

Before coming to the Warriors program I was not fit. This program made me feel confident to step out of my comfort zone and have the greatest experiences. Everyone is positive and energetic and after every day you will feel satisfied. We went on amazing hikes and explored beautiful mother nature. I pushed my physical limits and at the same time I have learned a lot of important life lessons about career guidance and public speaking. If you are looking for a program were you have to push your boundaries, but at the same time make amazing me
memories and friends this is perfect!!
I can’t wait to come back for the autumn program.

At the end of my experience with the Warriors Academy I was asked to hold a speech about my experience. I was able to come up with one thing; that I learned that in life you need ups and downs to thrive. Other than that I had no words, because I haven’t the faintest idea how to put into words the amount of growth I’ve had. The Warriors Academy touched me in places so deep I didnt’ know they were there, and helped me in ways I didn’t know possible. I don’t know how they did it, but if you have the opportunity; I’d recommend anyone out there to give it a go.

I learnt so much from Warriors and I can't fathom them amount of activities, excursions, fitness and fun we had over 2 months. I learnt a lot about myself during this time and made so many memories with new found friends from all over the world. Hiking in the Wolkberg, Kruger National Park, the cycle safari, toltec and many other activities really bonded us together. I found a new love and appreciation for nature and I've realized what a privilege it was to go on warriors. I can't wait for the next quest.

Overall, these 2 months have changed my mindset, on focusing on the positive things in life, to keep moving forward, staying mentally and physically fit. The staff has done extremely well on individual growth and organizing amazing event. I can't wait to keep growing and learning new skill on the upcoming AUTUMN quest. As well as eating another juicy Boma Burger. Highly recommend this quest for those who would like to add that extra boost of life. At warriors you work for your reward and its definitely worth it.

Warriors is a very versatile program - not only do you get to have once in a lifetime experiences (like hiking in the Kruger National Park or cycling through Limpopo), you also learn so much about yourself, gain important life skills, and build lifelong connections with people from all over the world. Every single one of the staff members seem to have made it their mission to support, build up, and push the Warriors (students) to become the best versions of ourselves. I cannot properly express my love for this program in words, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone feeling lost, confused or bored with life (or for anyone just looking for adventure).

The amount that i have grown and the amount of perspective I've gained as well as the activities that i did in just 7 weeks blows my mind... Best thing I've done with my life thus far and can't wait to go again. I met people from america... Poland... Netherlands ect. And learning from then and growing with them as a group going through the hardships and absolutely unmatched memories we've made has connected us so much and taught me so much about myself. Would not have been the productive energetic and positive person i am today if not for this program.

I went here without any idea what I was going to do and it turned out amazing. I learned so many things about my self and built up my physical conditioning. I did amazing hikes, one of them was a Hike in the Kruger Park. We saw some amazing animals, and we saw a elephant only 10 meters away. We also did a amazing 500km cycle that pushed me to my limits mentally and physically. We also got a first aid certificate, a public speaking certificate and we had self defence classes. I would recommend this to every gap year student that wants to do something adventurous.

Warriors academy is the best adventure gap year to go to by far!... You learn everything from values, morales, hard work and have a new perspective on your life based on your personality. I highly recommend this programme for all unsure or adventure seeking teens and young adults if you want to change your life in a more positive and soul cleansing manner. You get your moneys worth for not only for the activities but for also how amazing, wild, disciplined and professional the staff are... Thank you Warriors Academy for everything and good luck teaching future warriors 😉👍🏼
