AWESOME! I've never had such a great experience in my life. I jumped off the world's highest bungee jumping bridge and got to have a great time with my slimes.

South Africa was really something else and it will forever be one of those trips that I will never forget. The scenery was just unbelievable and the community was so friendly and welcoming. The tours and activities that Beeko set up for us were by far the best and I really got to enjoy being in South Africa while admiring its beauty.

South Africa was definitely the best Arkanum trip I’ve been on, I would do it again in a heartbeat! From bungee jumping off the highest bridge to meeting elephants and monkeys, it was overall a 10/10. Everyday was packed with amazing and fun activities that taught me more about South African culture and history. It opened door to new friendships and experiences, I loved it.

South Africa is for sure the best Ark trip I’ve been on. From exploring the city with Julie to going on safari tours, there was always something exciting to do. Also the natives are the nicest people on Earth. Shoutout to Mpanya slatt.
