Emma - Patagonia Mountaineering School, 2009. Chile
"What can I say about this trip, well quite simply this is the best; the most inspiring & personally rewarding ‘thing’ I have ever done."
Simon - Paragliding Pilots Course, 2009. Switzerland
"I can't recommend coming to this school highly enough. If your a beginner, or a total pro at paragliding, you will undoubtably gain a valuable amount of experience and have some serious, serious fun!"
Laura – Marine Research & Community Volunteering, 2009. South Africa
“...I did a Yomps program in South Africa last spring. If you are nervous about the company and their reputation, don't be. They did an excellent job getting me set up in South Africa, and the program was exactly what I expected from their descriptions. They are very easy to work with and worth the money. I couldn't find much info on Yomps before I gave them a ton of money, but I took the risk, and it was well worth it! Good luck!”
Nicola – Wildlife Research Volunteering, 2007. South Africa
“Firstly can I just say that Yomps are a really good company, they will look after you and are passionate about the projects that they offer. Also the projects are well researched and if they do not think they are worthwhile then they will not offer them.
