Student Discounts
Students with a ISIC (International Student Identity Card) or ISE (International Student Exchange Card) can receive a 10% discount on selected tours 10 days or longer. Every penny counts!
Gap Year Student Travel Discounts
Whether on a South Africa Gap Year or just backpacking through Africa, it is advisable to get a student card. There are two types of cards, the international student identity card or the international student exchange card. These cards give you discount on all the important aspects of travel like public transport, backpacking activities, entrance to museums and even tours to remote parts of Africa. Student cards allow you access to over 32 000 places that offer discounts upon presentation of your card.
Student Travel
Getting a student card allows you to make the most of your gap year in South Africa and assures you don't spend over your budget. When you are backpacking or overlanding through Africa it is easy to lose track of your spending and you find that its all the little things that begin to add up! Save money with a student card and enjoy a hassle free gap year in Africa.
International Student Card
The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) and the International Student Exchange Card (ISE) are the only internationally accepted student ID cards.
If you have a student identity card and would like to use it on one of our tours then please contact us and we will tell you more about the student discounts as well as fill you in on the in's and out's of overlanding in Africa.

Hello Collins, the ISIC student card is offered at the university/college where you are studying and only if they offer the ISIC student cards. You are not able to apply for this elsewhere. Happy trails!

Hi Janine, the ISIC student card is issued to any student worldwide and is internationally recognised. Look up ISIC on the internet and you will find their home page and enquire through them directly. Good Luck!
