Outposts is different from other expedition providers ... we take care of everything for you!

We DO NOT require your staff to act as LINK teachers, undergo any special training or take responsibility for a group
- unless of course you wish to be involved! We'll even handle the promotion of the expedition to students and parents, the pre-expedition training sessions and all the organisation, administration and accounting for the trip ... making it really easy for you and your school to offer these fantastic opportunities to your students.

Open Independent Expeditions are unique to Outposts and depart annually during the school summer holidays (end July/August). Places are open to your school's students and their friends (aged 15-17 at time of travel). Expeditions are usually promoted via an assembly to year 10s and/or year 11s, to which we usually invite parents and students to a one-hour presentation the following week. Students sign-up directly with Outposts however we will be sure to keep you and your school informed about the progress of your students with news and photos.

Outposts offers unrivalled experience, support, security and peace of mind for expeditioners, their parents, schools and teachers!

We maintain the highest levels of safety to ensure that we are fully compliant with, and often exceed, industry standards expected of UK expedition companies, which are among some of the most stringent in the world.

Your expedition ... in good hands!

"We just wanted to thank all concerned with the South Africa trip that has just returned. Our son had the most fantastic experience, loved every minute of it and made lots of new friendships which I'm sure will endure. From a parental point of view the organisation was superb, I never for one moment doubted anyone's competence or ability or felt concerned whilst he was away. To anyone considering undertaking a similar trip with your Company ... would we recommend your organisation to anyone else? Absolutely!" Parents - South Africa Expeditioner Read more ...
