Clifton School Trip to Maun

Maun Trip

We are excited to offer Clifton School students the chance to join Camp Botswana Children’s Activity Camp in Maun. This residential trip is a fantastic opportunity for students to experience Botswana’s wildlife, nature and culture while building confidence, independence and teamwork skills.

During the camp, students will take part in a range of exciting activities such as wildlife experiences, outdoor challenges and cultural workshops. The programme is designed to be fun, safe and educational, helping students learn new skills while enjoying an unforgettable adventure with their classmates.

The cost of the trip includes transport, accommodation, meals, snacks and all activities. Students should bring a packed lunch for the journey to camp, or money to buy lunch on the way. To make things easier for families, payment can be made in full or in monthly instalments due on the 30th. The trip is also fully insured, meaning a full refund is available if a student is unable to attend.

Below you will find all the important information about the trip, including the itinerary, payment details and forms required to secure your child’s place.
