We are very excited to be the specialist providers on this lekker adventure. We had a great time with the groups from Oakhill School and we are very excited to work with Oakhill to offer this to these brave young folks from inland. Ashambeni!
ODYSSEY FROM JOHANNESBURG THROUGH THE GARDEN ROUTE
Oakhill School is very pleased to facilitate an 18-day journey of self-discovery for students from schools in Johannesburg that will embark on our very own, Oakhill Odyssey - the adventure of a lifetime in the Garden Route!
Recognising the enormous value and exceptional experience that Oakhill offers their Grade 10s, there are 16 girls and 7 boys from Johannesburg who have chosen to independently participate in the Odyssey over their school holidays. Their journey starts this weekend, 13 and 14 April and they return 18 days later.
The Oakhill Odyssey, developed in 2011 has been made available to students from other independent schools since 2016 due to the wonderful experience and an interest in the spectacular Garden Route. Fully supported by professional adventure specialists, the students encounter a truly life-changing adventure. Odyssey offers approximately 350km of hiking, cycling, abseiling and kayaking/paddling through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Garden Route. This social, emotional, physical and spiritual journey focusing on self awareness is an incredible journey to the soul!
The students will follow the Knysna River to access the Garden Route National Park, from there they will hike and cycle through the Knysna and surrounding forests and cross the Outeniqua Mountains into the Langkloof of the Klein Karoo. They will then cross back over the Outeniquas near George, and paddle, hike and mountain bike their way back through the lake and estuary systems to returned back to Oakhill triumphant.
Having recently completed this full loop, the Oakhill students will attest to this being a once in a lifetime experience and personal journey as they each conquered their own Odyssey!
