I was not able to go because of COVID, Im still waiting for my refund 3.5 years later. No one will answer my numerous emails and I can never seem to get through on the phone. A company that does so much good, can't seem to take care of the people who want to help them.

VESA have withheld 75% of my refund following the cancellation of my trip last year, and are now refusing to answer my emails and voice mails. The 25% of the refund they have issued was through the 'personal' payments option in PayPal preventing me from accessing any consumer protection or PayPal's policies. The trip looked like an amazing opportunity, but I urge you not to give VESA your money.

I went to South Africa with vesa over summer 2019. It was not well run. The leaders are immature, they drink and smoke, and pressure us to drink every night. They forced us to do a talent show and if we did not participate they would send us home. I as well as everyone else felt like we were being treated like high schoolers the entire time. Make sure you look at the map for the trip you will be going on because 60 of us had no clue we would be driving 24+ hrs everywhere. Also you can only pick one activity not all of them for the excursion day in Swaziland which was also a bum for a lot of us who did not know that.
