You are here: gap-year / Africa-Gap-Year
An Africa gap year has the advantages of offering pretty much everything a gap year traveller could want. Wildlife, cultural experiences, incredible beaches, long eventful journeys and a warm welcoming heart.
Lets take a look at what types of Africa gap year opportunities are available through Xtreme Gap.
It goes with out saying that Africa gap years are unsurpassed when it comes to Wildlife conservation. With Hundreds of thousands of game reserves, both public and private there are plenty of interesting and worthy wildlife conservation projects available and needing your time and efforts to assist in conservation.
We work with a few excellent organisations leading the way with Africa gap year wildlife conservation efforts. From South African Big 5 conservation where you get to work with Africas greatest (and largest) animals, to Namibian wildlife conservation organisations, whose drive and dedication to rehabilitating returning injured and vulnerable animals to the wild is remarkable.
Africa gap year wildlife conservation can never be described as unexciting, but coming face to face with a lion on foot on a field guide course or getting in the water with great white sharks, is on a whole new level. We call it Xtreme Conservation, and we know that if you like genuine excitement and are craving for something completely different, then this could be what you have been waiting for!
If you want to get in the water with an even bigger shark, (we technically a fish) then you should look at the Mozambique Whale Shark conservation project. Mozambique is fortunate to attract these huge creatures in generous numbers, drawn to the coastline by the temperate waters and low impact from human activities. As Africa Gap year projects go, this one is prefect for people who enjoy down time staying in a beach house on one of the most spectacular beaches in Africa.
Our range of overlanding truck tours, really can cover the distance, and deliver the trip of a life time. From short flips around South Africa (when we say short it is all relative!) to longer 56 day experiences taking you though all of the main countries in South and East Africa.
Our customers write to us time and again after their Africa Gap Year trips, saying what a life changing experience they had, with cultural interactions with Himba, Zulu and Maasai tribes and witnessing natural spectacles that will leave any hardened Africa gap year traveller speechless. Like the mighty Victoria falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe or the equally beautiful Ngorogoro crater in Tanzania.
It is not just landscapes that will leave you with a pounding heart and sense of new found freedom. Spend a week on the spice islands of Zanzibar and your Africa gap year will be complete. Not only some of the best beaches in Africa, but in the world. These can often be enjoyed on the same trip that takes in the great rift valley and goes in search of the illusive Mountain gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda with a climb up Africa´s highest mountain Kilimanjaro, in the process.
If you want some serious adrenaline activities on your Africa gap year, and lets face it who doesn´t Africa will step up to the mark and deliver some of the most thrilling experiences you could wish for.
Where do you begin? Perhaps with the list of superlatives, the biggest bungee jump in the world (Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa) at 216 metres, although the equally impressive Victoria falls bungee is no slouch either. The worlds largest abseil right of table mountain in Cape Town, will have you week at the knees when you stand at the top, and is often a great start to any Africa Gap year with adrenaline in mind. Then of course we have skydiving, shark cage diving, Tiger Shark diving, Microlighting, sand boarding, Quad safaris, White water rafting... You get the point I am sure, an Africa gap year is any thing but tame.
Your ultimate Africa gap year starts with Xtreme Gap. If you want an exciting gap year Africa, and be sure that you are getting best value read on.

An Africa gap year many advantages: not only is it a gorgeous continent, the Africa gap year adventures on offer are as diverse as they are exciting.
