“I’ve just come back from the Borneo trek expedition and it was honestly one of the best things i’ve ever done. I want to give a special mention to my camp leader Emma who without i can confidently say all our group (Team Tidung) wouldn’t have have as much as a good time. She kept all our spirits high with her enthusiasm and created a special bond with all of us. The trip itself was beyond words, everything was amazing! From seeing elephants in rivers to helping children speak English in a school, it was amazing! I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone. The only criticism i have is that i think more preparation for the trek itself should be recommended: mentally and physically. It was challenging at times and in my opinion mainly mentally challenging so more preparation for it should’ve definitely been recommended or provided in my opinion. Apart from that, it was amazing and we all made so many memories and experiences that will all stay with us.”

“Dean and Chloe ensured that our daughter had an amazing experience in Kenya. She completed more activities than we anticipated and got so much from the experience. Dean checked in with her and her health frequently which we are thankful for. Well worth the 2 years fundraising. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“I found that camps International did a fantastic job of living up to expectations set, by delivering a life changing, fun, educational, and impact to me and the communities we helped on the expedition. The staff were amazing, our expedition leader was absoloutely amazing in keeping morale, leading our group through difficult challenges, and being supportive and fun at all times. It was also great knowing where all the money we paid for went to, food, accommodation and even tools. I would highly reccomend taking this opportunity as I did, 2 years ago when I found out about the Borneo trip and raised money to support my family in paying for it.”

“My son is currently away on a school trip with Camps International, however feedback so far has been quite negative. They are in Costa Rica and have had their itinerary changed without being told prior to setting off last Saturday. They have been told they are staying in the same overcrowded camp for 8 nights, will visit one less camp and hence experience less activities than planned and are struggling to get updates from the company. Parents have been given very little information on why there have been changes and what the new plan is. The company seems to be poor at communicating and not delivering on what was sold to the group. They are counting down the days to moving camp rather than enjoying the experience Very expensive trip and big profit margins for the company…”

“Amazing company with even better expeditions. Took 20 students from Dubai to mesmerising Kenya. Students took part in a community development project. All staff and pupils had the BEST time ever. The camps team did an excellent job delivering the programme from start to end. Communication with staff, parents and students throughout! The best experience in my teaching career. I wish I could go again soon with more students.”

“My child ,Fadi,participated in Tanzania expedition with Camps International. He is still caught up in the thrills and experiences of the expedition. He enthusiastically explained every detail of the journey. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mr.Adil and Ms.Valeria for their unwavering support, encouragement, care, and prompt responses to my queries. Their assistance and willingness to address concerns have been invaluable. To be honest, when I enrolled Fadi in this expedition back in October, I was filled with confusion and doubt, especially considering his age. However, after meeting Adil at his Dubai office and engaging in a lengthy discussion, I felt reassured to proceed. Adil's confidence in the program gave me the courage to send my 12-year-old, whom I had never sent anywhere without us before. Ms. Valeria consistently addressed my concerns, and her support and encouragement boosted my confidence in sending Fadi on the expedition. I must also express my gratitude to Ms. Lucy, the expedition leader, for her exceptional support, encouragement, and guidance throughout the journey. Fadi spoke highly of the lessons he learned from her. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Ellen for the first time at the airport before their departure for the expedition. I am grateful to her for all the support she provided. Fadi expressed his desire to do something meaningful for children in underdeveloped countries who may not be as fortunate as he is. I am incredibly happy and proud to hear this. I am proud of all the boys who participated in this expedition and carried out their responsibilities commendably. Kudos to Camps International and Raha International School for taking this initiative🙏🙏🙏”

Dear Reena Abdul Rasheed Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're absolutely thrilled to hear how much Fadi enjoyed his time during the Tanzania expedition with Camps International. It warms our hearts to know that he's still buzzing with excitement and that he found the journey so enriching. The entire team at Camps International work tirelessly to ensure every participant has a memorable and meaningful experience. We’re glad that we were able to provide the support, encouragement, and reassurance you needed to feel confident about Fadi's participation, especially given your initial doubts. We're also delighted to hear that Fadi spoke highly of the lessons he learned from Expedition Leader, Lucy and we have passed these comments on to her. We extend our heartfelt thanks to you, Fadi, and the rest of the team who participated in the expedition for their commendable efforts and for embracing the responsibilities entrusted to them. Initiatives like these wouldn't be possible without the support of schools like Raha International School, and we're grateful for their collaboration. Once again, thank you for choosing Camps International, and we hope Fadi's experiences continue to inspire him to make a positive impact in the world. All the best The Camps Crew

“Liam and Phil led a first-rate camp for our school. The initial contact from sending a rep to our school to meet parents, spot on kit lists and information was excellent. On the trip, Phil and Liam did absolutely everything from start to the final moments, showing incredibly leadership and experience. The whole trip was organised and paced well - 3 days meaningful work in school, a hike, making elephant deterrent fences, goat deworming and the pinnacle - a excellent safari. As teachers, all we needed to do was keep the students respectful and engaged and sit back and watch the magic happen. Thanks Camps International - we'll be back next year!”
