We work with any itinerary of your choice so that you have the tour that matches the interests and profile of any group of students. Whether your major interest is art, music or languages, culture, sports we can build a tour that helps bring your learning interests to life. As international air travel has become easier and cheaper, the opportunities for educational, schools and cultural exchanges and learning experiences to Africa for students from other parts of the world have also expanded. Students in different countries need to be given an opportunity to understand the purposes and goals of many issues in life, some relating to African cultures and life styles. We (Real Africa Excursions) plan student and school education trips, visits, excursions, safaris and holidays especially for students from all over the world to East Africa.
Our student and school trips to Uganda offer valuable learning experiences and lots of fun through various activities like white water rafting, bungee jumping, canoeing, fishing, quad biking, safaris and more. We expose students to new and stimulating situations which help to build confidence in young people, both now and for their future. We offer schools, colleges or university student groups a unique opportunity for two cultures to interact and for the group to do some hands on work at a local school in Uganda. Our experience in organizing trips and visits for students, especially to Uganda, cannot be equaled. Safety is paramount in all our activities and thorough risk assessments and contingency plans are an integral part of our organization.
The right mixture of adventure and education.
Our itineraries provide the right mixture of adventure and education and make a logical choice for Universities, Colleges or Schools. Your group will be able to let off steam and explore this wonderful part of the world - from the cities to villages, tropical forests, Lake Victoria, the River Nile, water falls, wild life and safari parks and more. This trip is an incredible opportunity for any student and offers an almost unbelievable variety of experiences... the memories will last for a lifetime!
