"In all the years I have been organising trips abroad I have never encountered a company as well-organised or that pays such attention to detail as Wind Sand & Stars. If there is a better travel company out there, anywhere, I’d like to see it!"
Iain Hepburn, teacher, Westminster Under School

With over twenty-five years of experience we are able to offer fantastic educational adventures within a very safe framework. We work with school staff to create stimulating journeys to fit with their pupils’ age, aspirations and abilities. From prep schools to sixth formers, we can tailor activities to inspire and delight any age group. We also provide reliable administrative support and back-up throughout the planning process as well as the journey itself.

Our close friendships with the local Bedouin tribes of South Sinai helped us to become one of the leading specialists in educational school journeys. Those friendships are an important part of our impeccable safety record. We have used this expertise to develop new partnerships and itineraries in carefully chosen destinations, working with local communities to offer a stimulating and formative educational experience.

Our school journeys to Jordan combine its Bedouin culture, rich biblical history and incredible natural scenery. In Ethiopia our strong community links have fostered long-term school partnerships, together with an opportunity to explore its unique rock-hewn orthodox churches.

A unique experience and a privilege to share the Bedouin’s way of life, for a short time.

Guest, Sinai Summits, April 2019

It was the most wonderful trip, so glad I took up this opportunity. All beautifully organised – well done.

Enthralling and beyond my hopes, it was a deeply spiritual experience at many levels. I am still raving about it all to anyone who crosses my path!

“The whole trip was AMAZING – thank you so much.”

Francis Burkitt, St Catherine tailor made, August 2017

We got more out of our adventure than we had ever hoped for, thanks to a country of huge diversity and historical interest and to a very special guide.

Cunningham family, Jordan, April 2017

So many thoughts about our wonderful trip to St Catherine’s; the fantastic warmth of welcome from the Egyptians, Fathers Justin and Nilus, and the unique history which we felt privileged to be given access to. In my book, how could one not enjoy and be inspired!

Julia Palmer, St Catherine’s Retreat, February 2017

“Huge thanks to all at Wind, Sand & Stars for an amazing trip. John’s passion for Ethiopia fires his erudition and he gave us more insights into the country, past and present, than we could ever have gained from local guides.”
