PROGRAM OUTLINE

The Namibia Wildlife Adventure program is developed to provide students with expertise in the following five areas of our daily life: Physical, Nature, Business, Social and Technical. You will be exposed to these five pillars through practical and up to date insights and training. The program also includes an awesome 12 day tour!

PHYSICAL PILLAR

The focus of the Physical Pillar is to develop students through physical fitness, health exercises and adventure sports. Top physical fitness and an adventurous aptitude are created during a variety of activities. These activities are specifically fashioned to capture your interest, to ensure weight loss, health improvement and enjoyment while doing it. Leadership skills and teamwork are constantly honed by these activities and students will be amazed to find how far their physical endurance can develop through proper exercising. Physical endurance provides you with an edge not only during the Namibia Wildlife Adventure program, but also for the rest of your life. It is proven to build character and confidence.
