Take learning beyond the classroom and experience the journey of a lifetime.
A school trip to Africa is about so much more than travelling somewhere new. It’s a chance for your students to step outside their everyday world and share in a journey with real purpose.
Whether your students want to help teach in classrooms or roll up their sleeves for hands-on building projects, we pair your group’s strengths with the priorities of a partner school in your chosen destination.
Our school trips to Africa give your students the chance to experience a different culture first-hand and gain a deeper understanding of international development, including how communities and schools work towards long-term, locally led change.
From flights and accommodation to your daily project schedule, our teams in the UK and on the ground have every detail taken care of.
Travel Safely
With 17 years’ experience organising school trips to Africa, we know how to create a safe, well-supported adventure. From the moment you arrive, our in-country team will be there to welcome you, guide you and support your group.
Make an Impact
Your time at your partner school is at the heart of your trip. We’ll shape your experience around the school’s priorities, giving students the chance to contribute to projects that support education and create lasting opportunities.
Create Global Citizens
New places, new people and new perspectives can be powerful. Your students will grow in confidence, independence and understanding, returning home with broader horizons, stronger skills and memories that stay with them.
Build Lasting Relationships
The strongest partnerships grow over time. We’ll help your school build a connection with your partner school, creating opportunities to keep learning, sharing and contributing long after your first trip.
Why Schools Choose Us
We’ve helped more than 10,000 volunteers experience Africa in a way that goes far beyond travel. Our school trips complement classroom learning, giving students the chance to see new perspectives, understand more about the world around them and grow through real experience.

"This trip has reinforced my belief in the power of education and the transformative impact of international experiences. Seeing the girls come together to volunteer at local school Jubilee Academy was nothing short of inspirational. Their dedication, compassion, and enthusiasm every day made me so proud. From playing with the children, teaching dance, painting the newly built kitchen and front gate and preparing graduation lunch, they left an incredible mark on the community."

“Working with students and teachers in a different cultural setting helped me develop my adaptability and communication skills. I taught Maths, Science and PE lessons and helped refurbish three classrooms. This experience showed me just how impactful education can be. Seeing the children’s excitement and gratitude for simple resources like coloured chalk and freshly painted walls was incredibly humbling and eye-opening. It reminded me of the significance of the basics, especially in environments with limited resources. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and excited to carry the lessons that I learnt throughout this trip with me.”

"Even though we weren’t at Ubago for a long time, we found a new community—one that reminded me of my school. The people there welcomed us with open arms and open minds. They shared their culture with us and showed us how they teach their students, and in return, we shared our own ways of learning and teaching."

"It was an incredibly eye-opening experience that taught me a lot of valuable skills and gave us an idea of the culture in Zanzibar. Creating memories I will cherish forever."

“From previous pupils who have been and from their parents, especially, I get emails that they come back changed people. They have a different perspective on value, on life, what’s important, and they feel like they have contributed, and it gives them the confidence to broaden their horizons as they move forward in life.”
Nick, Group Leader -
“I was not expecting this trip to be as life-changing as it was. I am only 15 and I believe that I have achieved so much in such a small space of time. I think that everyone should push themselves out of their comfort zone to experience the reality of the world around us.”
Olivia, Volunteer
