Our recent Grade 7 school camp at High Africa was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the excitement was palpable, and we knew we were in for a fantastic adventure. The camp was filled with an array of activities that not only tested our physical limits but also helped us grow as individuals.

One of the highlights of our trip was the High Ropes course. It pushed us to face our fears, challenge our balance, and work together as a team. Whether climbing, swinging, or balancing high above the ground, it was a thrilling experience that built both confidence and perseverance. The sense of achievement after completing each challenge was incredible!

Another unforgettable activity was canoeing. We spent time on the water, learning the ropes of paddling and steering while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. It was not only a fun physical challenge but also an opportunity to bond with classmates and teachers as we worked together to navigate the waters.

The evenings were equally exciting, with a talent show that showcased the creativity and talents of our fellow campers. From singing to comedy and dancing, it was amazing to see our peers shine and celebrate each other's unique abilities. Additionally, the movie trivia night was full of laughs and team spirit, bringing out our competitive side in a fun and light-hearted way.

Throughout the camp, we engaged in many other physical activities that kept us active and energized. Every game, every challenge, was a new opportunity to learn about ourselves, our strengths, and areas for growth. Most importantly, we learned the power of perseverance—how pushing through difficult moments, both physically and mentally, leads to tremendous personal growth.

The camp also allowed us to make new friendships and strengthen old ones. Spending time in a different environment, outside of the classroom, helped us connect with one another on a deeper level. It was wonderful to see everyone support and encourage each other through each activity.

In short, the Grade 7 camp at High Africa was a wonderful experience that we will never forget. We stepped out of our comfort zones, learned valuable life lessons, and created lasting memories. The entire group—students and teachers alike—had a blast, and we can't wait to return next year for another incredible adventure!

Thank you, High Africa, for such a well-organised, fun-filled, and enriching camp experience!

We recently spent 3 days and 2 nights at High Africa Adventures, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we booked our stay, Yolanda and Willem, the owners, were incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Their hospitality made us feel right at home.

The facilitators were absolutely outstanding! They brought such a great energy to the camp, and their humour and genuine efforts to connect with the prefects was remarkable. Their enthusiasm and positive attitudes really brought the whole experience to life.

The activities were carefully thought out and planned to build on and test leadership skills, which made it the perfect setting for a prefect camp. Every challenge was designed to push boundaries, foster teamwork, and encourage growth in leadership, all while being engaging and fun.

The food was delicious, and every meal was a treat. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience all around. Thank you, Yolande, Willem, and the amazing team at High Africa Adventures for making our time so special. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure in a stunning setting with an incredible team!

You will definitely see VRS at High Africa Adventures in the future!

STUDENTS FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Dear Willem, Yolanda and the High Africa Team,

We wanted to send a huge, heartfelt thank you to the entire High Africa team for the incredible way you hosted us for our Leadership Camp.

You were both so attentive and supportive during the planning stages of our camp, which made our job that much easier.

And from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, you went so far beyond what we could have asked for. You welcomed us, looked after us, kept the energy high, made us laugh, connected so naturally with our scholars and somehow managed to accommodate every request and every last-minute staff need that came your way!

It was an absolute joy and pleasure to be at High Africa and to work alongside your team. Your willingness to understand what we were trying to achieve with the camp, and then actively support us in making those objectives happen, made such a difference. You didn't simply facilitate activities for us — you became part of the experience and helped us create the leadership moments we were hoping our scholars would have.

And then there were all the little things that perhaps aren't part of the programme at all, but meant so much to us. Those moments really stood out to us. It showed the genuine warmth and care behind the High Africa team, and we appreciated it more than you probably realise.

Of course, the venue and facilities are exceptional. The activities were such fun, the food was delicious, and the entire experience was incredibly well run. But what really makes High Africa special is your people. Your team brings so much energy, humour, warmth and willingness to go the extra mile. Nothing ever seemed like a problem — there was always a solution, a smile and someone willing to help.

We genuinely could not have asked for more — or for a better team to partner with us for this camp.

Thank you for helping us give our scholars such a memorable experience and, more importantly, for helping us achieve what we set out to achieve with them. We left feeling incredibly grateful and very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with all of you, and can’t wait to do it all over again in December.

Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved. Every person who played a part contributed to making the camp what it was, and we really do appreciate it.

With huge thanks and appreciation,

The facilitators were experienced, enthusiastic and engaged so well with the pupils.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything had been organised to the T. Special thanks to Willem and Yolanda for the all the extra touches. We will definitely be back.

Learner Enrichment and Safe Schools Projects

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Steenkamp, and the High Africa Team

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to both of you for accommodating us on such short notice and allowing us to make use of the High Africa Adventure Campsite. 

The learners thoroughly enjoyed themselves and gained valuable skills through the camp activities, which focused on teambuilding, leadership, and building confidence within oneself. This growth was especially evident on the final day of the camp. Normally, I would select one learner beforehand to express thanks to the venue staff, but this time I chose to wait and see if the learners themselves would step forward. After Roland and the crew concluded their activities, the learners were asked if they wished to say, “thank you.” After a short pause, Yolanda volunteered, supported by Marcelino as interpreter. Encouraged by her example, two more learners stood up to express their gratitude. What made this moment so powerful was that these learners were not usually the most vocal during the camp, yet they found the confidence to speak — a true testament to the impact of the camp.

 

Their words of thanks included:

  1. Appreciation for the facilitators and fellow learners who helped them develop leadership skills and believe that anything can be achieved regardless of circumstances, that leadership is not about titles, but action, and teamwork is not always about being the same, but using our differences to work together to achieve something
  2. Recognition of the High Africa facilitators, whose enthusiasm and genuine care made it easy for learners to trust them and engage fully in the activities.
  3. Gratitude to the High Africa staff — from the kitchen team to the grounds and cleaning staff — for the wonderfully prepared meals and for ensuring that the facilities (showers, rooms, and more) were in excellent condition. This attention to detail reflects the dedication of you, your wife, and the entire High Africa team.

 

It felt only right to echo the sentiments expressed by the learners themselves, rather than use my own words. Their heartfelt feedback is the strongest testament to the positive impact of the camp and the care shown by your team.

 

On behalf of our learners and staff, thank you once again for making this experience possible.
