Prepare your students for the future with an experience that builds independence and global awareness.
A college trip to Africa is about so much more than travelling somewhere new. It’s a chance for your students to step outside their everyday world and share in a journey with real purpose.
Whether your students want to help teach in classrooms or roll up their sleeves for hands-on building projects, we pair your group’s strengths with the priorities of a partner school in your chosen destination.
Our college trips give your students the chance to gain crucial real-world skills, boost their employability, and discover how local communities and schools lead long-term, sustainable change.
From flights and accommodation to your daily project schedule, our teams in the UK and on the ground have every detail taken care of.
Travel Safely
With 17 years’ experience organising college trips to Africa, we know how to create a safe, well-supported adventure. From the moment you arrive, our in-country team will be there to welcome you, guide you and support your group.
Create Global Citizens
New places, new people and new perspectives can be powerful. Your students will grow in confidence, independence and understanding, returning home with broader horizons, stronger skills and memories that stay with them.
Make an Impact
Your time at your partner school is at the heart of your trip. We’ll shape your experience around the college’s priorities, giving students the chance to contribute to projects that support education and create lasting opportunities.
Build Lasting Relationships
The strongest partnerships grow over time. We’ll help your college build a connection with your partner school, creating opportunities to keep learning, sharing and contributing long after your first trip.
Why Colleges Choose Us
We’ve helped more than 10,000 volunteers experience Africa in a way that goes far beyond travel. Our college trips complement classroom learning, giving students the chance to see new perspectives, understand more about the world around them and grow through real experience.

"As I reflect on the profound impact these trips have on staff, students and the partner schools, even after 11 years and 14 groups from Chichester College Group, it still amazes me. The value of volunteering is always huge, but opportunities like the one we participate in continues to be life-changing for all involved... I would recommend this opportunity to anyone."
