Backpacking Africa

We’ll pack our bags and get ready for a 2 ½ week unique and tailor-made backpacking trip in Southern Africa.

The trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia will provide experiences and memories for life.

Some of the places are well-known backpacker destinations, but we also travel to lesser-known places to live with locals, get to know young people, and eat authentic food during home visits. There will be different activities and nature experiences than we are used to. 

Zimbabwe

In Zimbabwe, we go on a safari in Hwange National Park, known for its rich wildlife and one of Africa’s best places to see “The Big Five” (Lion, leopard, African elephant, Cape buffalo, and rhino). The trip continues to a tribal visit in a village. Here we will learn about traditional life, crafts, music, and dance. 

Zambia

The trip continues to Zambia where we will experience one of the world’s largest waterfalls: Victoria Falls. Spectacular waterfalls that are on UNESCO’s World Heritage List and also part of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World”. We also experience authentic impulses in the city of Livingstone with markets, food, and human encounters.

South Africa

Next stop is magical South Africa. In East London, we’ll experience Africa from the inside through social projects, home visits, and beach bonfires at sunset. We continue along the famous Garden Route through magnificent nature. We’ll spend a few days in Mossel Bay. Here we’ll hike the St. Blaize Trail with cliff paths, whales, and dolphins. There’s also the chance to ride the world’s longest zipline over the ocean for those who dare.

We take a day trip to Oudtshoorn to visit an ostrich farm. Along the way, we will meet witnesses from the Apartheid regime who will provide us with important knowledge about human dignity, racism, and democracy. The trip concludes in Cape Town. Here we will visit, among other places, Townships, Table Mountain, an iconic mountain plateau in Cape Town, and Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for several decades. We also travel all the way south to the Cape of Good Hope. On the way there, we will also get to experience the penguins at Boulders Beach. 

Ticket to Ride “Real Life Edition”

Do you know the board game? It’s great fun to play at school, but it gets even better and more educational when we hop on the train and embark on our own Ticket to Ride trip in Europe.

On this Interrail trip, you truly get to experience the freedom of travel. Together we plan the route – maybe we’ll end up in Berlin, Prague, Budapest, or Ljubljana… or all four? You’ll learn to navigate train stations, hostels, and new cities, and experience the community and spontaneity that comes with the backpacker life. This is Interrail as it truly is – authentic, social, educational, and full of unforgettable moments.

Photo – Film – SoMe

Ticket to Ride is the line where you will learn the basics of film, photography and how to use your mobile to capture good moments.

On the trips, we take photos of and with the people we meet, and the nature where they live. You’ll learn how to take good photos with both your phone and camera. We’ll also learn how to create reels and edit photos on social media.

Norway

During weekdays at school, there will also be many exciting local trips.

With Oslo only 1 hour away, there will be day trips to visit tourism operators to learn about tourism, travel planning, and how professional operators and people with long experience organize trips to distant lands.
