Group reviews

Tanzania

What an outstanding 10 days we had in Tanzania. From the moment we arrived in Arusha to the moment we left everything was exceptionally well planned and executed. The organisation put into place by Gapforce was exemplary; every activity was well thought out. Having two Gapforce staff members on the ground in Tanzania was superb because they were familiar with the local customs and the language.

Furthermore, they were more than willing to change arrangements at the last minute and accommodate our requirements. The staff in the London office was a dream to deal with- always approachable, easy to communicate with and highly accommodating.

The range of activities organised for us were of a wide range and suited then needs and requests of everyone. From walking transects, to the Maasai cultural experience, visiting the orphanage and the tree days of safaris, I would certainly recommend Gapforce to anyone planning to visit beautiful Tanzania.

Ecuador

We have just returned from our school trip to Ecuador and wanted to write to let you know what a fantastic experience we had. The pupils gained so much from all aspects of the itinerary and they have literally raved about it all the way home- Thats 30 hours of non- stop talking from some of them! Thanks again and we look forward to working with you again in the future

Ba Kalalan

The expedition was excellent. Ben was a great leader, full of enthusiasm and the project in Ba Kalalan was exactly what we were looking for, both remote and meaningful

India 

The trip was fantastic - Stefan and Charlie were brilliant. At times I felt as though I should be doing more as, with them on the trip, everything just happened!

One of the highlights was the 'Zomsa Laundromatte Cafe' where we had all of our meals in Mcleodganj - it was run by a Dowa who really looked after us and over the week cooked us all the classics of Tibetan food. I'd definitely go back there.
