Too much red tape

With a current climate in schools that requires teachers to risk assess how to get on and off a bus safely, many of you will have chosen to forego the privilege of taking students on a trip. Those that still run the gauntlet may limit themselves to within these shores.

I am the Head of Biology at The Leys School, Cambridge. What you see below is a brief overview of the activities enjoyed during a school expedition to Africa that I have run annually for the past four years.

2 day Makoro expedition in the Okavango Delta, including walking and Makoro safaris
Low level flight over the delta in 4-seater Cessners
Quad biking in the Makhadihadi salt pans followed by a fly-camp on the moonscape
An early morning game drive followed by a sunset river cruise safari at Chobe National Park
A visit to the ‘smoke that thunders’ - The Victoria Falls
White water rafting on the mighty Zambezi
Gorge swinging and bungee jumping over the Batoka Gorge (Victoria Falls Bridge)
Walking with lions at Antelope Park
Horseback safari
A relaxing tour end at Tchipise Hot Springs in South Africa

To design bespoke, flexible itineraries
To ensure we do what it says on the packet - provide life changing Chance of a Lifetime Travel
