February, 2022 - "Good morning Trevor, I hope this email finds you well. I would just like to thank you, Peter and the team for the exceptional service we received again. The learners cannot stop talking about their various camp experiences and it is all down to your team. Due to difficult socio-economic situations our learners do not get much exposure to the world and this camp means so very much to each new generation we bring to your adventure camp. So, thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you in 2023. Stephanie Bence Belvedere School Therapist"

August, 2022 - "Dear Mr Keith Our Germany-based NPO, the DSJW (Deutsch –Sϋdafrikansches Jugendwerk) held a debriefing seminar for our 15 young German volunteers returning to Germany after their 6-month social responsibility stay in South Africa. Our choice of the Kwalata Adventure Camp was spot-on! In the seminar assessment questionnaire, all 15 volunteers gave the Adventure Camp total approval (sehr zufrieden) for ‘Unterkunft’ (accommodation) and ‘Verpflegung’ (food and refreshment). Specific mention was made of the ‘super’ food. Another hit was the 2-hour game drive conducted by Peter, the Adventure camps’s truly knowledgeable game ranger who even managed to bring us up close with a rhino family ...

February, 2022 - "We arrived tired, somewhat dusty but endlessly happy on Friday, and I'm certain not just the teachers but also the learners spent most of the weekend speaking about the great adventures that their had. I'd very much appreciate it if the below feedback could also be sent on to Trevor, Peter and the entire Kwalata team. In short, the camp was excellent and exceeded l expectations by far. Why? The activities were age-appropriate and made sense, they were presented with a goal in mind, the learners got to learn, to try things out, to reflect, and to evaluate themselves as individuals and as a team after all the activities. Everything made sense ... "
