Amazing

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.

What was your funniest moment?
When i poured down rain at 2 am in the kruger national park and an elephant walked 8m from the group and everyone was in disbelief due to the sleep deprivation cause of the rain... What an experience.

Warriors academy

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.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My group got attacked by a buffaloe, what unfortunately had to end in our guide out the animal down.

My adventure as a warrior

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 😉👍🏼

What was your funniest moment?
When most of the warriors burned their shoes, sleeping on the floor for the 1st 2 nights in our cabin and as well as the theatre night.

WAT

This was the best thing that my daughter could do after matric. She came back with so much more than I ever expected. She has a lot of good memories to hold on to when things get tough now and consider the warrior team part of her family. Every task she did gave her more confidence and made her realize that no matter what there is always a solution. Friends can save your life so choose them wisely, and be a friend, you never know when someone might need a helping hand. She will not exchange this time for anything thing else.

What was your funniest moment?
To see a man cook dinner, and made it so well! She made that dish for a few people now, and it is getting to be a family tradition dish..

Warriors

December 2020 was the second Warriors Week our daughter has been part of. She came home so excited and ready to look at things differently and face life's challenges with new found energy, wisdom and gusto. Loving the outdoors and adventure activities this action packed week was another dream come true for her. There were opportunities for self reflection too and these moments really had an impact on her. New skills and friendships were developed, the experiences and memories will be held dear for a lifetime.

Attending the Warriors' Gap Year Programme makes you a stronger person both physically and mentally

The Gap year program of Warriors which our son attended for two quests in 2020 has been a great experience for him both physically and mentally. He gained more self-confidence by functioning in a diverse group of youngsters under challenging situations. He starts understanding that he is the one that can make the change. He is not there yet but the program helped him to become a better person for himself, his friends and family. I can recommend the program for teenagers who are looking for goals and structure in their lifes (although they may see this different at the start)

Life changing

After I have finish my A levels in Singapore I will with out even contemplating go on the gap year with the Warriors Academy, but until then I will just have to bide my time. I strongly believe that the warriors have change my life multiple times and I have no complaints what so ever. The food, activities, accommodation and vibes were “off the wall”
I had an amazing week with them on the Warriors Adventure Tour. This week is a great introduction to the gap year and I recommend it to anyone considering a gap year.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
You must be open to do things you would not necessary do on your own accord.

Warriors tour

This tour has left me completely speechless, there are no words that can truly explain my experience. I found myself again. I was able to get my adrenaline pumping and experience nature in a whole new way! I made so many new friends who I know will be friends for life. I was able to create a special individual connection with each person. The facilitators really made me feel comfortable and at home. There was no judgment no matter who you are or where you are from. I would highly recommend this tour to any adrenaline junky teen who need to get out for a while.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I met someone who makes me feel like I am safe and loved, I fell in love with out realising it.

EPIC!!!

Warriors Academy is an extraordinary experience that helps develop yourself and inspires you to become the best you, by challenging your limits and teaching you life skills. Challenging your limits means you pause long enough to understand what it is all about before deciding what to do.Teaching life skills develops critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills, and creates learning experiences that create memories. Memories tell stories that create rich emotions and feelings of joy.

Warriors trip

This trip to me personally was really a life changer. The amount of fun I experienced during the short period of time was more than I have experienced in the rest off this year. During this time I met a lot of new friends and we got along really well, and I even ended up falling in love. I leard a lot of lessons such as the value of friendship, leadership, respect, trust, etc. This trip really is worth it and I would suggest this trip to all teens out there, as it is perfect for all. Next year I'll be assisting at this trip and hopes to see a lot of new faces

What was your funniest moment?
Having a mosquitoe fly up my nose and shooting it back out straight to the tent.
