Turing Scheme trips to Botswana
Turing Scheme trip to Camp Botswana
From bush survival workshops to cultural immersion activities, every moment at the camp in Botswana is packed with excitement and adventures from visiting local villages where the elder women teach the fine art of basket weaving, boat cruises, horse riding or cooking classes . The nights make way for campfires under the Botswana stars and these are remembered for a long afterwards as the concept of time is forgotten whilst your bond with nature gets reconnected.
