We had a wonderful trip to Kenya with Camps International. It was a fantastic and well planned experience. Thank you to our great trip leader, Keith Scott. Keith was excellent with our students, he led the group with so much knowledge and got to know our learners on a one to one level. The only reason I have given 4 stars is there were a couple of bits of information that camps forgot to tell us. E.g. that we had to pay for the PCR upon return/ we also were not told about doing travel locator forms.

My daughter was booked to go Cambodia this July through her school. All along myself and CI remained hopeful she would be able to go Even if it was to a back up destination. Camp have always been honest and upfront regarding the situation and every time I have had concerns I have always come off a call feeling reassured and informed .We were just offered a good will refund of all funds paid but my daughter really wants this trip of a lifetime so we are really looking forward to moving on from covid and she will be hopefully going to Kenya in 2022 on an open trip ,the staff have already reassured me that the good will refund will also still stand next year if circumstances haven't improved. Everyone has been lovely to deal with and despite the difficulties of the year we have faith the trip will be unforgettable.

Process was run professionally and all the kids had a good, educational time and most importantly came back safely from Kenya. I got the impression that the camp monitors were confident and experienced. The trip was well documented and parents kept in the loop once the kids were in-country. Only niggle was in the pre-trip admin we were told not to take photos of the presentation as it would be sent to us, then it was never sent to us. Otherwise all good.

My daughter came back from 8 days in Tanzania and weeks later, she's still talking about her life changing trip. Amazing experience with camp staff who are very friendly, good food provided as well. The community work the kids undertook definitely changed their lives forever. We would consider sending her again on other trips. Administration prior to the trip was a little disappointing, with parents given the wrong itinerary (Kenya rather than Tanzania), wrong packing list provided and very little offered in terms of what the camp conditions are like etc. A more thorough admin process prior to the trip will definitely make parents more confident to send their children abroad.

The trip to Kenya was a life changing experience. I went there in June for 4 weeks and it still feels so surreal. I am so overwhelmed and I can’t thank camps enough for the opportunity given to me !!

My month in Cambodia was amongst the best in my life and the people I met made it even better. All of the Camps staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful and our work was very rewarding - it was clear to see the difference that we were making. The only downside really was the hidden costs of the vaccines and kit (and I didn't buy many things or expensive ones - Primark and mountain warehouse sales sold me most of my purchases), instead of £3990 it was more like £5000 which we weren't made aware of at the start. Other than that the trip was unbelievably well organised and our leader Alice was one in a million and made the trip 1000 times better. I would definitely recommend Camps to anybody looking to do a similar trip.

My trip with camps was absolutely amazing! The camps themselves were so cool, food was great-it was nice to eat food from the Kenyan culture. And everyone in the camps were so friendly and helpful. Thank you :)

As a student who visited camps international, Kenya camp; I really enjoyed my stay at the camp. I got closer to many new people and I made friends with other groups. I experienced very amazing sunsets and views. I learnt many new survival skills, and learnt to adapt to nature much better than I use to Before. Camps international changed me in someway, as I am much more adventurous after this trip. And I learnt to be thankful and appreciate what I have! Thank you so much for this great experience, SN :)

I thought that the camp was an amazing experience! But my only issue was the tent. It wasn’t completlely enclosed, we had to baracade the front and the back with extra matresses so the wind wouldn't blow the sand inside.

Went on a DofE Gold Expedition to Nepal and had a really fun (and challenging) time there. The hotel they had for the first night and last night (for when we arrived/left) was really nice and in a good state. It was an educational and eye-opening experience to see a polar opposite life style to your own; Nepal is known to be a very poor country. Our night camping locations were fairly well organised with no major problems that I can remember. The main issue we had on our expedition was that the team there did not quite understand the goals of DofE and the extent we had to be self-sufficient. The maps we had (the largest scaled ones) were not detailed enough and it made it impossible at times to find the correct route as there were so many small roads that did not exist on the map, leading us to be lost quite a few times and having had been rescued by Bischnoo - a really really great guy who seemed to know every trail -- even if non-existent on maps -- and every single bush in the area. Although quite expensive for what the trip was since we were camping for 5/7 days, I've made some great memories and had an opportunity I never would have had any other time.
