Program Reviews

I loved my experience at warriors it really pushed me to my limits and I absolutely loved it. It was supper fun and I absolutely loved making new friends and getting to know new people and being able to make similar connections with people from different backgrounds the facilitators are absolutely amazing and very supportive definitely a opportunity of a lifetime. I loved trying the traditional food of the limpopo area it was exotic but I really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this program for anyone.

I have really enjoyed my time at Warriors. Over the seven weeks I have been here I have seen and done so many amazing things I never thought I would do. I have grown a lot through all my experiences at Warriors and I feel I am a much stronger, confident and independant person than when I first arrived here. Not to exclude mentioning how much physically fitter I've become as well.

The Self-mastery workshop we did during the first week was amazing as it helped me to learn more about myself and work through my problems. It helped me to let go of a lot of things I was holding on to and to prove to myself how strong and capable I really am.

The facilitators and everyone who runs this amazing program are very supportive and helpful. They make sure you are doing well and are having a great time. I feel I have made friends with many of them.

I have met people from all over the world and made great friends with pretty much all of my fellow Warriors. There is a great comraderie between everyone.

I really would recommend Warriors Academy to anyone my age who has finished school and doesn't know what the next step in life is. I promise you that you will learn so much about yourself, make great friends and have an amazing time

Warriors is the place to transform yourself and your life trajectory through learning and struggling, both physically and mentally, to develop the right habits for a meaningful life. And, it’s the place to go on the wildest adventures with people that you will never forget. So much fun!!! 10/10 would recommend. We wake up at 5:30 am so it gets your sleep schedule correct, and we exersise every day so you get extremely physically fit. In the 7 weeks we competed a mile swim, a 60km hike, a triathlon, a 3 day hike through the African Savannah, and a 500km cycle.

This program made me grow already in 7 weeks. I met incredible people from all over the world, each with their own problems, all with a specific goal. I made real friends who grew with me during this program. You shouldn't expect anything easy when signing for the warriors... The activities we do are physically or mentally exhausting (often both). It's amazing how much mental improvement improves during a quest (of course only if you're committed). The staff around us listen and help us throughout this adventure... Thank you warriors!

I've loved my time at warriors so far, I love how physically demanding it is, I love the way the program is structured, how the people are so friendly and dependable and overall how much it has pushed me out of my comfort zone.

I really enjoyed to mental aspects of the course like self mastery as it really allowed me to look at myself in way I hadn't before, career guidance was also a really good experience for me as I feel like I was able to get guidance for careers that felt more personable.

overall I would recomend this to anyone lost or someone who want to try something new.

I have completed 7 weeks at the Warriors Gap Year Academy. In these weeks I learned so much about myself. This first Quest began on a mental level with the Self-Mastery course. This course was a very special opportunity for me to get rid of many mental insecurities I lived with.

Afterwards we did very exhausting hikes and a 10 day cycle with amazing views of the flora and fauna in this area of Africa. The mental preparation at the beginning helped me a lot to overcome the mental challenges I had to face during these adventures.

All in all this program offers an amazing opportunity to push yourself mentally and physically forward and to experience this with people who come from all around the world.

I had a really good time warriors help me with finding myself and making me more active. The activities were very fun and challenging. They provide help when needed and I have a feeling I found a new family. I made some amazing friends here from all over the world. I mostly enjoyed the cycle safari of 10 days and the hiking in the national park without a tent. You really feel you are one with nature then. You learn what kind of personality you have and the good and bad parts about it. I would highly recommend warriors academy to others.

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

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.

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.
