School Expeditions - An Overview

 

To get a real feel for the experiences COLT can provide, when can I go?
Any time at all. There are no fixed starting days or itineraries.

Where can I go?
Anywhere in Africa you choose to. Most schools opt for South Central Africa or East Africa as they are world famous for safari, natural wonders of the world and adrenaline activities.

Who can go?
School, university, college students or indeed any group of adults. We suggest a minimum age of 15.

What are the minimum and maximum numbers that may go?

How far in advance do I need to set aside for planning?
A minimum of 6 months
