Warriors Academy Gap Year Program in South Africa

Warriors academy is a very fun program to do when you have a gap year, even for just one quest. You learn a lot about your mental state but also how to push your limits. It teaches you as well to be on your own and be more responsible. The group is very fun and you will make friends for life. All the staff are always there to help you with whatever and are really good listeners and give great advise. I would recommend this to everybody. This was honestly a great time that I will remember for the rest of my life.

I had a great time developing my personal growth, and will remember this program forever. There are lots of people and staff that welcomed me here with open arms. I came to this program from a long ways away so I had to find the courage to push myself to join. I am so glad that I did, because the activities I performed, the people I met, and the mental fortitude I gained are all unforgettable. Lastly, I am leaving this program in the best physical shape I’ve been in for a very long time. Thank you warriors academy.

There is almost too much to talk about with the warriors. The mental mastery and growth I’ve had here was unmatched to anything I’ve done to this point. I was very nervous traveling across the world to a foreign country but the staff and people here are one of a kind. I’ve made connections here that I feel will last a lifetime. As an American there were so many experiences that I will never be able to have in the states just because of the natural wildlife and scenery. If you’re looking to push your limits this is a great place to be.

Comming to warriors I expected nothing like this, I expected this comfortable activities. I was so wrong, the staff team pushed everyone out of their comfortzone and did crazy stuff, they knew what they were doing and is so well trained noone got bad injuries. This also opened my eyes to what is outside the world. They pushed me so much that I did stuff I did not think was possable for me to do, they are always so supportive and always check safety before anything else. They wont force you to do stuff but push you far enough for you to do it yourself.

I had a really fun time during it all, staff treat you like their your friend and not a client but also take the fact youre their client into account so they do look after you with standards. The activities were extremely challenging however all the staff push you beyond your limits and help you overcome it all. I loved my experience and im sure anyone else coming here would as well. The food is also satisfying for every Breakfast lunch and dinner but can require getting used to but youll definitely find your favourite foods quick here. AND HELEN AND ROWENA IS THE BEST

What a trip. Such amazing beautiful people, everyone is so supportive and push you to your mental and physical limit. If you are looking for an amazing gap year definitely give it a look at and if your not sure definitely one quest (7 weeks)
If you are looking for an eye and mind opening experience I would definitely recommend the 1st quest as it touches on self mastery and self development.
The experiences you will have on this quest will live with you for a lifetime. This gap year will push you to your limit.

I completed my gap year at Warriors Academy in 2022. It was the best year of my live and unexpectedly was the most live changing, in that I developed greatly as a person doing something I learnt I really enjoyed. This personal growth and the opportunities provided ultimately lead to me deciding to join the 2nd year program offered by Warriors Academy, The Multi-Activity Adventure Instructor (MAI) Program. Don't confuse this as a second gap year, it is quite the opposite. The MAI program is more like a traineeship where you get trained as an outdoor instructor. The primary fields you get trained to guide in is Hiking, Mountain biking, Abseiling, White water rafting and Rock climbing. The training also includes various life skills such as team leadership, first aid, incident management and getting ready at 2am. This 2nd year at Warriors Academy doing the MAI program really took my gap year and turned it into career path. I would highly recommend it for those interested in working in the adventure industry or even just those looking for a life changing experience.

I did the MAI course after i have finished the gap year program. The MAI course has taught me even more life skills and added even more qualifications to my arsenal, it was a tough year but probably one of my most memorable as well. Now i am using the skills i acquired through MAI and I’m currently a adventure guide. MAI was by far one of the best decisions in my life. You get to work with the warriors and help them grow into they’re best versions, you get to focus on yourself mentally and physically and grow even more.
