Warriors Academy is a premier gap year program nestled in the Magoebaskloof mountains of South Africa. Since 2004, we’ve empowered young adults through adventure-based learning, fostering personal growth and leadership.
When I arrived at Warriors Academy, I had so many goals I wanted to achieve, but I didn’t know if I was able to achieve them. Not only did I achieve all the goals I had, but I also achieved so much more. Warriors made me push myself and made me grow so much as a person. Their program will help you find yourself and friends who you know will be around for a lifetime. The warriors academy team was so supportive throughout the entire journey and made us feel so safe and helped grow our confidence. Warriors Academy was the best decision I have ever made.

Warriors have been very helpful in developing my personal growth. It challenges you with activities that test your limits to force you to step out of your comfort zone.
The friendships I gained from this experience have been made stronger by doing the activities together.
The MAIs and facilitators have made me feel safe throughout the whole experince. Not only do they make you feel safe, but they also help you gain that confidence to push yourself further and help achieve your personal goals.
Coming to Warriors was the best decision I’ve made to spend a gap year

I can honestly say I’ve never experienced something like this in my life, from the mentally strengthening workshops and sessions to the amazing expeditions, trips and workshops, this place has shifted my outlook on both myself and life, I’m here for the whole year but have only experienced the first quest so far and I can’t express the excitement I have for what’s to come. I thoroughly believe that everyone should experience this program before venturing out into the open world left to fend for themselves

Warriors gave me structure in my daily life and helped me to become an adult. It was a wonderful, adventurous gap year, and the supervisors did everything to keep you safe and enthusiastic. The activities were fun, nocturnal, and beautiful. There was this one guy called Dylan, he was the best facilitator for me at "Warriors, he has the kindest heart, and he is just always positive, and just being around him, it's a vibe. He really made me enjoy Warriors a lot. Warriors in general was a vibe I will recommend sending your kids to this life changing gap year program"

I enjoyed the activities, and I got progressively stronger over time. I was always stressed about not being on time or not knowing the itinerary of every day, as we knew very little information about future plans.
I felt a lot of frustration and burnout throughout this journey, but it was worth it
