High Africa – Where the Breede River Becomes Your Classroom
On the tranquil banks of the Breede River, less than two hours from Cape Town, High Africa is a leading outdoor education centre that uses nature as its classroom. Surrounded by the rolling Worcester Winelands, this riverside venue offers a perfect blend of experiential learning, adventure activities, and personal growth opportunities for schools, youth groups, and corporates.
Accommodation options range from comfortable en-suite chalets with sweeping river views to rustic safari-style bungalows set under shady trees. Each camp has dedicated dining and recreation facilities, creating an ideal base for immersive multi-day programmes.
High Africa’s outdoor education experiences are carefully designed to develop leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience. The impressive high ropes course, one of the largest in South Africa, challenges participants to step beyond their comfort zones. Canoeing and rafting trips on the Breede River combine skill-building with environmental awareness, while team challenges and low ropes activities foster trust and cooperation.
Beyond the activities, High Africa is committed to meaningful impact. As an NSRI-accredited water safety training facility, they equip thousands of learners with essential life-saving skills each year. Their facilitators create a supportive environment where participants can grow in confidence, build communication skills, and strengthen group bonds.
Whether it’s a school camp that ignites curiosity, a leadership retreat that builds cohesion, or a skills-focused programme for youth development, High Africa offers an unforgettable outdoor education experience where learning is active, hands-on, and deeply connected to the natural world.
