Camps international was one of the best experience I have ever had in my life. It’s changed me as a person I’ve made friends for life. The Leader Hannah is the best leader ever we because so close because she’s so welcoming and comforting to have for four weeks.

Dear Grace Thanks for the awesome review about your expedition to Tanzania. We’re so pleased to hear that you had the best experience - meeting new friends and growing as a person! We’ve passed your kind words on to Hannah, your Expedition Leader, for being so welcoming and looking after you for the 4 weeks you were away. All the best The Camps Crew

Hannah was great, kind, funny and a caring leader. I meant some great people throughout my trip. I really enjoyed the first camp, the food was very nice there! The other camps, quality of living spaces and food were very poor. All the manual labour we did everyday of our trip, we only had rice and vegetables! We needed protein to keep energy levels up and for our muscles to recover. I lost 11 and a half pounds in weight. Came back very thin and poorly.

Absolutely brilliant trip! It was even better than I imagined! On return, students asked me to plan this trip again for their siblings as they would not want them to miss out on such an incredible opportunity. The organisation, the preparation, the support provided by the customer service, everything was perfect! I really appreciated their adaptability to the specific requests we had as a school. In country, we felt like we were in good hands. We always felt safe. Excellent expedition provider! Strongly recommend!

I have just got back from taking a group of 13 students from my school to Tanzania. All I can say is thank you! From the minute I got in contact about setting up this trip to coming home I have felt completely supported and have trusted Camps. The staff in the UK really know their stuff and want to help you to feel safe before leaving and the staff over in Tanzania went above and beyond to help us. Our expedition leader- Lydia was the most incredible leader, we were so lucky to have her. She was always so positive, knowledgeable, caring and motivating. I cannot praise and thank her enough for everything she did for us and I cannot wait to see what else she achieves with Camps. She really has become a friend for life. We did an impact expedition so didn’t do a trek or scuba but it really did feel like we made a difference. Some of the projects we worked on were: working on water drainage systems at a school, water hole maintenance, laying a classroom floor, building a new classroom, coral reef restoration and building a traditional mud house. It was so nice to meet the people whose lives we were impacting too- they were so genuinely happy to have us. We also went on safari, it was breathtaking! Camps organised this and we went with Bobby Tours. Our drivers were so good and got us the best stops every time. They were patient with us and happy to answer any questions. We were super lucky to see 2 prides of lions, countless elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, warthogs and ostriches. I will never forget that day! The project workers in Tanzania were incredible as well, they were great with the kids, so knowledgeable about the area and the work that we were doing. For me, the local staff were the highlight of the trip as I had such interesting conversations with them about their lives. They were also really good on our cultural days, taking us to local tribes and teaching us local dishes- again this was one of my highlights. I cannot thank Camps enough for this life changing trip for me and my students and I cannot wait to organise the next one!

My daughter has had an amazing experience with Camps International in Ecuador. She was one of the youngest on the trip at age 15 but this did not hold her back. She thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much from living in the community, from the construction and conservation work - and from the incredible environment. It has been a life transforming trip for him. Extremely professional support all the way through from Camps International all the way through. A big thanks to Jacob, Camps Leader and all the amazing staff out in Ecuador.

My son went on the Kenya trip and had the most amazing time. He loved all the activities and can’t praise their Team Kamba leader Chris highly enough! I was a little nervous about the accommodation and food in advance but he embraced it all. If you are considering fundraising for the trip for your child it’s worth factoring in the cost of vaccinations, visa and kit (if you don’t usually camp). A brilliant experience I would highly recommend

Dear Parent Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, we are thrilled to hear that your son had the most amazing time. It is great to hear that he got involved with all the activities and embraced trying new foods. It is always lovely to get feedback for our expedition leaders and we will be passing on your shout out to Chris, for all his support during the expedition. We love your point about fundraising and encouraging everyone to fundraise for their kit and vaccinations. All the best The Camps Crew

A good experience for our child. However, poor communication from the company from the group she was in. This was compared to other groups with more frequent updates. An urgent medical issue was not noted which we would have liked to have prepared for.

My son has just come home from Camp Ecuador, he had the most amazing time, made friends for life, enjoyed his volunteering and his hikes in the Andes. He commented the facilities and food were great. As a parent I can highly recommend Camps International, the trip was professionally prepared, organised and executed. We were kept informed during the the four weeks the team were away. Camps International reacted quickly to a period of civil unrest in the country and ensured the team was kept safe and promptly changed travel plans.

i sent my son on the borneo trip, and was extremely dissapointed. In camp Bongkud there were ants in the orange juice he had and he was given food with ants in it too. Moreover, the facilities he stayed in were inadequate being extremely unhygenic and not to acceptable standards.

Dear Ekta Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Our Camp Bongkud is situated in the shadows of Mount Kinabalu in a remote location surrounded by lush green foliage which naturally becomes a habitat for all kinds of native animals and insects. Our kitchen team follow strict food hygiene standards and would have been able to replace any food or drink. We sorry to hear that your son did not enjoy the experience of staying in a traditional longhouse, which is rustic in nature. All the best The Camps Crew

Really not even one star. My granddaughter has paid over four thousand pounds and spent time preparing for this She is sixteen and was told two weeks ago that she can’t go! She had gone through the ordeal and cost of vaccinations. Worse still she has now been told you will be refunding 50% as a goodwill gesture! Goodwill? Where is her money going? Disgusting behaviour from a charity.

Dear Dawn We can see from previous correspondence between your granddaughter’s parents and the school that this has been a complex and private matter and we share in your granddaughter’s disappointment that she was unable to go on the school expedition as planned. It was due to the circumstances and it being so close to the eminent departure of the expedition that we made this gesture of goodwill. All the best The Camps Crew
