Our journeys

Learning that travels.

From our home in Katima Mulilo, learners set out every year to discover the ecosystems, cultures and conservation projects of Namibia and the KAZA region.

Educational journeys are linked to the year's environmental theme and to the curriculum, while sports trips take our teams to compete across Namibia and the region. Every excursion follows an approved plan and risk assessment.
