Warriors

You and your fellow Warriors become a family who love and care for one another, who support each other through everything. You meet amazing new people and you get to enjoy a variety of fun activities with them for the next 7 weeks. You do so many things throughout the 7 weeks that you’ll always remember and cherish with your fellow warriors. I have made some life long friends and i love all of them to death. I have overcome some of my fears and have learned so much about myself. I would recommend this to anyone who is unsure about what they want to do, or if they want to have an amazing gap year.

Pros
  • Amazing people
  • Beautiful views
  • Fun activities
Cons
  • Don’t have time to recover
  • You might not like some people
  • Might not be satisfied with the amount of food

Many questions have been answered about myself. Very happy with that.
Came as a adolescent, left as a man.

Pros
  • Hikes
  • Mental activities
  • Triathlon
Cons
  • Réaction (physical punition)
  • Wake up early
  • Food

Natural Living

The views are fantastic! We make magnificent memories! Also do unexpected or uncomfortable things you wouldn’t usually be willing to give a go e.g. Fed Jessica the friendly hippo, crawled through small mine-like tunnels, slept tent
-less in the Kruger National Park and many more! Personal doubts or uncertainties/weaknesses are also positively challenged and motivated to improve upon and grow. Had a concert night where my fear of dancing came to light, yet the performance itself was really fun. All in all very inspirational! Would highly recommend.

Pros
  • Diversity
  • Supportiveness
  • Motivational
Cons
  • Close quarters (occasional snoring)
  • Not many casual shopping or town days
  • Restricted alcohol consumption

Lizelle Summer Quest

This was definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Yes it was tough and it was challenging, but the amount of growth that I've experienced and all the adventures that I've gone on makes everything worth it. The adventures that you get to experience here are truly special and the family that forms around you is so unique. It isn't always fun and games and you will have your down days where you may be cycling for 80km or hiking up a literal mountain, but you are encouraged to cry and to show that you are human with so much support and love around you. Warriors helps you to develop your character and it does help you to find the person that you want to be. It is totally WORTH IT!!!

Pros
  • The Adventures you go on
  • The family that you build
  • The growth that you experience
Cons
  • Having to clean dishes
  • A lot of hills
  • Sometimes bugs in the room

This program is 100% with everything they do

Yeah warriors is an amazing place with such wonderful people and the activities we do and life skills that we learn are so good for thing that we will be needing to do in our future life's and everything you learn it sticks with you for the rest of your life it's not like school where u sitting in class and u forget what the teacher has been talking about for the past 40 mins here what they teach you, you do it the next day perfectly and if not they'll keep on pushing you and teaching you how to do it perfectly

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Expect the unexpected they don't tell you anything you are doing till the day which is exciting actually I prefer it that way if they did the program any different I don't think you would get the same experience of excitement

Was the best year of my life meeting amazing people and making amazing friends

The best year of my life was being at warriors learning new skills and improving my fitness and making the best friends that I will cherish for the rest of my life. You push your self mentally and physically for any activity that was tough. I came to this gap in the beginning of the year in feb. And I enjoyed everything that I accomplished at warriors I did the drakensburg 5 day hike I did Bungy jumping, sky diving and the adventure challenge which was the most insane and toughest challenge I have ever done but I loved this was the best year ever

Warriors 2021

Warriors has taught me so much like how to grow not only physically but also mentally. My first year was an unbelievable experience. Making so many friends so fast and getting so close to everyone. It has been so much fun that I’m doing next year as a multi activity instructor (MAI). Can’t wait to get back to start a new year in 2022 in this beautiful place. I love warriors because they first helped me find who I really and and them took us on the most amazing adventures. From sky diving to rafting the orange river.

MAI

The MAI program that warriors offers is an amazing program where you are pushed to be the best you possible and helping you overcome some things that you are struggling with, you learn a lot about different activities that range from public speaking to abseiling and many more. This year has taught me a lot about myself and what I am capable of and with the help of the warriors staff, this years warriors and the MAIs I have overcome hurdles, I have been on some of the craziest and most exiting trips and I have met the most amazing people who I call family now.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-racking moment of the year was when we started the Drakensburg Grand Traverse. I was nervous about the 9 days that were ahead of us but I was super exited at the same time.

Experience once in a life time

I had my doubts going into the program, but I have had the best time possible. You get pushed to your limit and yes it does get tough. But what you get in return you can’t express!! I have created memories for life, some of which I will remember until the last day. You get an experience that rewards persists above everything else. You do what you have to complete your objective. But most important you do what is best for you, I have learned so much about myself aswell as my peers joining me in this amazing experience.
