2. WHY RIFT VALLEY ADVENTURES
With over 15 years experience running International Award Expeditions, Sports Tours, Service Learning and
Outdoor Club Expeditions, we are ideally placed to lead your group. Life skills that are hard to teach in the
classroom come roaring to life on our tailor made journeys.
Focusing on the students’ personal, social and educational development, our flexible itineraries and tailor-made
expeditions are suitable for all ages. All of our trips immerse young people in the culture of their host country,
challenging them to understand more about themselves and others.
And that’s just the start of it. From full-blown expeditions in the outer reaches, to community service and
conservation trips – you’ll find details in here of these programs and activities – along with field trips, mountain
expeditions, and the Duke of Edinburgh International Award.

3. Students always come back with intimate
knowledge and hands on experience of life
skills such as effective communication,
responsibility, understanding your team,
working together as a team for a common
goal, leadership styles and resilience.
ADVENTURE
As an approved International Trained Activity Provider (ITAP),
we regularly supply student groups with a host of different
adventure activities wherever we operate. Some of our
adrenaline packed trips include mountain biking, cycle safaris,
canyoning, rafting, rock climbing, skiing, camel safaris, surfing
and stand up paddling.
We only use fully qualified and highly experienced instructors -
and all have an intimate knowledge of our locations and
adventure pursuits. Why not link several activities into a
memorable adrenaline packed package? Let us design a
programme tailored to your needs.

4. MOUNTAIN EXPEDITIONS
At 5,199 meters, Mt. Kenya’s summit is
blanketed by glaciers and snow with
spectacular moorland separating the rugged
peaks from thickly forested lower slopes.
A five-day hike will reach
Pt. Lenana, just under
5,000 meters.
Mount Meru (4,566m) is the second highest
mountain in Tanzania and a much underrated
mountain climb. It is a horseshoe-shaped
volcanic crater with a spectacular narrow ridge
and superb all round views.
MT KENYA MT MERU
A unique world lies above the walls on the high
plateau of Mount Mulanje. High granite
towers and spires, stunning moorland forests
and waterfalls gives the perfect trekking
experience and was the backdrop of inspiration
for Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”.
MT MULANJE
As the highest point on Bali and the holiest
mountain on the island, we trek the 4km to
the summit for a sunrise over the spectacular
Batur crater at 1,717 metres with views
across the strait to Mt. Rinjani on
Lombok.

5. COMMUNITY
SCHOOLS FOR COMMUNITIES
We always want to put something back into the local
communities we visit and work with. The aim of our “Schools
for Communities” programme is to link students with local
people to create a better understanding among children
from different cultures and backgrounds and support
development and education projects.
You and your school can make a real difference by getting
involved in projects like setting up ICT Programs, improving
educational facilities, school development and teaching.
CONSERVATION AT WORK
By getting involved in “Conservation at Work” you can help
contribute to desperately needed wildlife and
conservation projects in some of the most endangered eco
systems around the world. Your visit provides funds for local
communities and practical assistance on conservation
projects such as maintaining rhino and chimpanzee
sanctuaries, forest restoration and natural habitat
protection.

6. The most well organised
and best overseas trip we
have ever done! From the
learning and educational
outcomes, to students
pushing out of their
comfort zones and having
a great “Aussie
adventure”, we couldn’t
have asked for more.

DESTINATIONS
KENYA - TANZANIA - MALAWI - NAMIBIA - AUSTRALIA - INDONESIA - THAILAND - SWEDEN

7. KENYA
Welcome to beautiful Kenya! It is in the heart of this spectacular country that we chose to lay down our
roots. And who can blame us - Kenya is the jewel in Africa’s crown. It is one of the most exciting and
naturally blessed destinations on Earth: with equatorial glaciers and savannahs packed with wildlife, all
within site of each other. A trip to Kenya takes you to the top of Mt Kenya, a World Heritage Site,
across the plains cycling with giraffe, elephant and rhino and out into the Indian Ocean to
surf and snorkel the warm tropical waters.
Personal development is rarely more
exciting and stimulating than on one of
our specially designed expeditions. Get
a taste of rural Kenyan life, along with
some of the most thrilling adventures
and a chance to make a
real difference.

8. TANZANIA
Home to the highest mountain in Africa, a wildlife hotspot and
an adventure destination to take your breath away - Tanzania is
an explorers dream. Amidst this vast stretch of African savannah
with its dramatic cliffs, ice-tipped equatorial mountains and
exotic wildlife, participants gain a massive sense of achievement
from our expertly organized experiential programmes.
Concepts such as trust, responsibility, goal setting, team work
and leadership - highly prized but rarely taught effectively in the
classroom - blaze to life in the East African bush. Nobody comes
back unchanged, and that’s exactly what we want.
Incomparable.
You guys are awesome!

9. NAMIBIA
Namibia is the newest addition to our list of international school expeditions and trips. We
took one look at the awe-inspiring, ever-changing countryside and were in a headspin: the
cascading dunes, impressive coastline and that ‘Africa feeling’ makes Namibia our new
favourite place.
In addition to having a striking array of
cultures and national origins, Namibia is a
photographer’s dream - it boasts wild
seascapes, rugged mountains and
endless desert.

10. MALAWI
Malawi, often referred to as ‘the warm heart of Africa’ offers
a stunning journey through spectacular landscapes and a rich
cultural heritage. School groups can experience the diverse
and tropical waters of Lake Malawi and the high mountain
landscape of Mount Mulanje, all the while engaging with the
cheerful, laid back Malawians who are always keen to welcome
visitors.
The striking landscapes of both mountain and water combined
with the ease and warmth of Malawians make it the ideal
journey for first timers in Africa. It offers everything the
adventure sports enthusiast would need and the project work
is the perfect way to contribute something back into the
communities you stay with.
The ‘warm heart of Africa’
never disappoints!

11. AUSTRALIA
Occupying a third of the continent,
Western Australia with its stunning
beaches, relaxed atmosphere, small
population, the world’s most isolated
city (Perth) and miles upon miles of
Aussie outback make this a cracker of a
destination.
Our journey from Perth to the Coral Bay
region takes in aboriginal culture,
outback stations, humpback whale
migration, the world’s longest fringing
reef, camping, unique Aussie flora and
fauna, this trip brims with Aussie
Adventure! It is a culturally and
geographically diverse continent that
has everything a student group needs.

12. INDONESIA
The third most populous country on earth, straddling 5200km
across the equator and 18,110 islands from the smallest with
enough space for one coconut tree to the immense shared
expanse of Borneo and the wild Sumatra. 5000m volcanoes,
some of the best diving on earth, together with surf,
sand, stunning highland treks even some glaciers,
and bustling cities and markets to boot - make
sure you visit this dynamic country.
A main attraction is the fascinating
culture and diverse languages -
from the animist tribes in the
East to the Hindu kingdoms
on Bali and Java. There are
so many islands and
opportunities for a variety
of school trips.

13. THAILAND
It’s everything you imagine it to be: serene white beaches lined with palm trees, shallow seas teeming with
colorful marine life and deep tropical jungles holding mystery and adventure - Thailand truly is paradise.
You can be drawn in by the friendly welcome, the colorful culture, the rich religious history or just the hope to
experience something mind blowing.
Thank you RVA for your expertise in
designing meaningful experiences for our
Intercultural trip experiences. Your
attention to detail and safety policies,
combined with great food and
empathetic instructors, allows ISK to
expose our students to different
cultures and offer physical challenges
and wonderful opportunities for
service.

14. SWEDEN
Being 66 degrees North of the equator, our trip to Sweden not only offers a great ski experience but so many
other exciting winter sports. And to get out of the snow we take a look around the beautiful and historical cities of
Gothenburh or Stockholm.
Sweden allows for a diverse range of trips - from the exciting cosmopolitan cities of Stockholm, Malmp and
Gothenburg, to the rolling green hills of central Sweden and up to the clear white North to try your hand at skiing,
building igloos, dog sledding or snow mobiles. We can even search out the impressive Northern lights!
