The year has started on a high note at RSC with everyone in full planning mode for lots of school expeditions, sport with a purpose challenges as well as scheduled departures. The Lake Malawi Engineers group has been the first group to travel with us in the first month of this year. It has been great to start the season with such an incredible and passionate group.

There are lots of school groups we anticipate to host this year, providing them with the best experience the Warm Heart of Africa gives and in turn, them being a part of something in promoting our country’s economy. So far, we are expecting more than 17 school groups from all over the world. We are positive that beside the usual activities such as safaris, they will also experience life in a local classroom setting as they visit various schools. Some of these groups are recurring whilst some will be experiencing their first visit to Malawi.
Here is a snap shot of one of our regular school groups which enjoys travelling with us and have confirmed to be in the country in the coming months.

Our partner tour operator in the UK - Orbis Expeditions - organised the exceptional ‘sport with a purpose’ challenges alongside the usual challenges we conduct. We have got ten challenges together with the Orbis cycle challenge in April. All these challenges are carrying different themes aiming to address different issues currently affecting Malawi while also improving participants physical fitness & giving them the chance to explore Malawi.

The Women’s Empowerment trip is back in the country in May solely to empower women with entrepreneurial skills through skills sharing programs and training. WATG is also back with Becky Van Dijk and Vanessa as tour leaders in April. Find out more about our Skill Sharing Expeditions and how you can get involved. 
Having looked at all upcoming 2020 trips, you cannot deny the fact that RSC is growing tremendously. More interestingly, the team is more than ready to handle all in country operations for every trip and are excited to do so!
Ivy chat about the power of women coming together on our Skills Sharing Expeditions. 'If women are capable of doing everything that men are capable of doing, then we have a universe of double work force, a universe full of people that can work together in a better and faster way.'
Maggie goes behind the scenes of RSC's Community Project links and chats about how we are trying to empower communities through sustainable tourism and practice Trade Not Aid where possible.
