How OEEA ensures safety, fun, and unforgettable learning experiences — by testing it all ourselves!
Every year, Outdoor Environmental Education Africa (OEEA) takes time to conduct hands-on site visits to the venues we partner with for our school tours. Why? Because for us, quality assurance isn’t a checklist — it’s an adventure.
This year’s trip to the stunning ATKV Drakensville resort in the Drakensberg wasn’t just a safety inspection. It was a full-blown test run of the fun, the thrills, and the learning we’ll be sharing with students — and this time, we brought the full energy. ⚡
🧗♀️ Tried, Tested, and Slightly Terrified: All Out Adventures
Our first stop was All Out Adventures, where we got our adrenaline pumping with the bungee bounce, trapeze, and the infamous King Swing (spoiler alert: I screamed the entire time and have zero regrets). Danielle soared through the trapeze with circus-level grace, while I clung to my courage — and the safety harness.
Yes, it was wild. But that’s the point. We test these activities so your learners can experience them safely, confidently, and joyfully — because we’ve already done it first. 💪
🏹 Archery, Ziplines & Paintball at ATKV Drakensville
At ATKV Drakensville, we dove right into adventure mode. We:
- Ziplined across the dam 🌊
- Tackled the high ropes course
- Abseiled with wobbly legs and wide smiles
- Hit a bullseye in archery (still not sure how, but we’ll take it!) 🎯
- Got owned in paintball
- Tested our aim with air rifles
- Completely failed (but tried!) the climbing wall
- AND became the first humans launched from the brand-new adventure blob — a must-try splash experience
We wrapped up with a visit to the beautiful Basotho Cultural Village, soaking in the stories, heritage, and wisdom of the land. Because adventure should always come with depth, context, and learning.
🔐 Adventure + Safety = OEEA Standard
Every location we use is thoroughly vetted — not just for safety and logistics, but for the kind of experiences that create memories, spark curiosity, and inspire young hearts. 💚
We don’t just visit venues. We experience them. We ask questions, check the gear, evaluate the supervision, and yes — we scream on the King Swing so your child doesn’t have to (unless they really want to). 😅
A massive THANK YOU to the ATKV Drakensville team for your gracious hospitality and limitless patience as we flailed, laughed, tested, and occasionally begged for “just one more photo.” You guys rock.
