Travel Experiences That Make A Difference!
With many years of experience and a dedicated specialist team African Insight understands the needs of young travelers as well as parents, schools, colleges and universities and the accompanying group leaders.

The combination of Africa’s best wildlife destinations, oldest wilderness areas, vibrant traditional cultures and a first world infrastructure makes South Africa unlike any other African country and creates the opportunity for potentially life changing travel experiences in Youth Development (school groups), Academic Field Trips (Colleges and Universities) as well as Volunteering and Work Experience opportunities at a cost that no other African destination can match.

South Africa is a meeting point of the first and third worlds. It has a stable first world economy with educational institutions, communication networks, medical facilities and a road infrastructure to rival the best in the west! Yet with access to extensive wilderness and wildlife resources that matches any destination in the Africa. Our Conservation & Wildlife Management has been adapted to suit the specific academic needs of numerous tertiary institutions.
This first and third world difference is most apparent at the social level, where at one end of the scale many live the jet-set lifestyle of the top 10% in the world; yet on the opposite end of the scale there are many tribal communities who live their lives as they have for the last 100 years – without electricity or running water.
African Insight leads the way in terms of responsible authentic cultural immersion experiences. A visit to either Ekuthuleni in Zululand, or The Mabandla Experience in the foothills of the Drakensberg are a key component and the highlight of almost every Youth Development itinerary. The Mabandla Experience meets the Duke of Edinburgh Award criteria for a Residential Experience.
Succeeding in a challenge that is completely out of a person’s normal comfort zone gives a great boost to self-confidence. African Insight™ offers a collection of a half & full day as well as multi-day adventures that are facilitated by professional partners, ensuring access to experienced guides and adherence to the highest safety standards at all times. Our Mountain Expedition conducted in the magnificent Drakensberg Mountains has been developed in compliance with the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
