School Tours
Safe, educational, and engaging learning experiences for schools and youth groups.
A school tour needs four days, one registered coach per 40 pupils, a teacher for every 15 pupils, and student accommodation booked as a block. Seongo Group Travel builds the curriculum linked programme, falls geology and ecology, a conservation game drive and a heritage visit, and quotes one per pupil price with free teacher places and a two term payment plan.
