Great customer service great product thank you

Words cannot express how incredible this trip is. I went to EDventure 2025 knowing no one and left with life long friendship and a plan to come back in 2026! This trip is a must go for every educator or educator at heart that is looking for joy, community, laughter, and service after a long school year. Between the kids, the safari, learning the history, and the wine; this is the trip of a lifetime!

From the beginning, Jocelyn made us feel welcomed and cared for. Her passion for the “kiddos” was contagious, and her energy set the tone for an incredible camp experience. She went above and beyond to make sure our time in Cape Town was special, from amazing food recommendations to arranging unforgettable tours and adventures. EDventure was the perfect balance of professional growth, meaningful work, cultural immersion, and adventure. I loved working alongside educators from different roles and professional backgrounds, all coming together to encourage students to find their voices and advocate for their own academic success. Outside of camp, every detail, from the lodging and home-cooked breakfasts to the South African braai and thoughtfully curated activities, made me feel truly immersed in the beauty and culture of Cape Town. I left with new connections, unforgettable memories, a deeper appreciation for South Africa!🇿🇦💙

Logan and Friends gave me an undeniably beautiful travel experience. They showed their commitment to service even before I got there by keeping up with my flight manifest and adjusting my airport pick up when I missed my connecting flight to Cape Town. Everything from the accommodations to the excursion schedule was well organized with intention and care and contributed greatly to the guests' comfort and enjoyment. The Logan and Friends founder, Jocelyn, was an absolute gem while we were out there. On camp days, she came with so much enthusiasm and passion for the "kiddos", as she calls them, that anyone in her presence couldn't help but be affected. Her excitement and engagement set the tone for the educators and helped the kids feel welcome and emboldened as they stepped into camp. She was also available to provided outstanding recommendations for food and activities during our free days, and arranged THE BEST guides for our tours across the peninsula. To say I had a awesome time is a great understatement and I could not have chosen a better company to travel with.

My time with Jocelyn Logan-Friends was absolutely fabulous! Every detail: accommodations,excursions, meals, entertainment, you name it, was met with EXCELLENCE! Platinum Service! I was initially concerned about the cost, however after being a part of the trip, I found that this was a bargain! A time was had and I will definitely be traveling with Logan-Friends again!

Joceyln curated a beautiful, black-centered, Cape Town experience! We encountered history, visited by motorcoach to see nature up close, and partied in cool spaces. She planned amazing tours to ensure we would see the best of the beautiful city. I left with a deep understanding of the history of the Cape. Jocelyn's planning was so impeccable that I am encouraging my daughter (mid-20s) to go on the trip alone. Educators will love the experience with the children. I learned so much from them. I am still reflecting on my experience. I truly appreciated the level of consideration Jocelyn gives to detail. For example, I have a lot of food allergies, and Jocelyn always made sure I had alternative food to eat on days when meals were included. I recommend without reservation.

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Logan-Friend for several years at the U.S. Department of Education while she was pursuing her Ph.D., and I was immediately impressed by her brilliance, creativity, and unwavering commitment to improving education. It comes as no surprise that her Edventure program in Cape Town is such a remarkable success. This program is far more than an unforgettable tour of Cape Town’s iconic sites lead by local expert guides and storytellers. It is an immersive experience where participants spend four days working alongside primary and middle school students, helping them find their voices. Through collaboration, students identify meaningful improvements for their schools, build consensus around achievable solutions, and confidently present their ideas to their peers and school principals. Watching quiet, hesitant children grow into confident leaders is truly inspiring. The program also celebrates the arts, with accomplished local creatives guiding students in music, dance, and painting. These experiences spark confidence, creativity, and joy while showcasing the remarkable talents of the children. Dr. Logan-Friend has created an extraordinary program that beautifully combines cultural immersion with youth empowerment. It is a transformative experience for everyone involved.

South Africa trip was everything! ❤️ Even though my trip was shorter than everyone else's, I had an amazing time from start to finish. The hotel, the safari, the dinners, the beautiful views, and most importantly, getting to visit the schools made this experience so special. I loved the schools that were chosen. Each one had something unique to offer, and I learned so much from both the educators and the students. Their ideas, passion, and creativity were truly inspiring!!!!! ( They really made my heart melt) Definitely a 10/10 experience! Thank you, Jocelyn, for putting together such an unforgettable trip and for giving us the opportunity to experience the beautiful culture of South Africa. 🇿🇦❤️
