Outward Bound South Africa: Discover Strength Through Adventure

Outward Bound South Africa offers transformative outdoor education programs designed to help young people unlock their full potential through adventure and experiential learning. As an affiliate of Outward Bound International—the world’s largest and most trusted non-profit experiential education organization—Outward Bound South Africa has positively impacted over 65,000 lives over the past 32 years. Set against the backdrop of South Africa’s spectacular natural landscapes, these school and leadership camps are designed to challenge and inspire.

Participants engage in activities such as hiking, rock climbing, paddling, navigation, and team challenges that promote personal growth, resilience, leadership, and confidence. The programs are tailored to different age groups and educational needs. Whether it’s a school camp focused on teamwork and problem-solving or a leadership expedition aimed at developing future change-makers, each journey is rooted in Outward Bound’s “learning through adventure” approach.

With skilled facilitators guiding each experience, participants leave with not only unforgettable memories, but with essential life skills—communication, perseverance, responsibility, and self-awareness—that extend well beyond the campfire. Outward Bound South Africa is more than an outdoor program; it’s a journey of self-discovery.

Through structured adventure in the wild, young people learn what they’re capable of and return home more empowered, focused, and connected to the world around them.
