All MAD gap year projects combine volunteer work with an exciting variety of travel, challenges and experiences to broaden your horizons. You’ll visit some of the world’s most spectacular game parks, and go whitewater rafting - all included in the cost of your project.
We’ll organise everything … so you (and your parents) can have peace of mind
