Travel

Africa // Tanzania

You put one foot in front of the other, focus on breathing well and when you look up you see the sun rising and it is so incredibly beautiful. You also feel the excitement as you approach the summit of the 5895 meter high Kilimanjaro. The world's highest freestanding mountain! This amazing climb takes place together with local guides and porters who help us get equipment, prepare food and make sure we have a good time. Being on a trip with a big group and with good friends creates an indescribably good feeling. The daily stages are not so long, which allows us to acclimatize even better and thus increase the chances of reaching the summit.

After a magical and special experience in the mountains, we go on a Safari in the animal-rich Tangerie National Park. A great way to relax after experiencing this intense mountain adventure. It's also nice to see more of this amazing country! 

 

During your weeks in Tanzania, you will experience a little bit of everything. It is a different world. Everything from the giraffes standing and chewing on the savannah, to the market in the city where everything from fish to detergent is sold in bulk. There are a hundred thousand new impressions, and in the midst of all the new things, you will meet an open and welcoming people who always have plenty of time.

 

Is the line right for you?

If you are passionate about varied outdoor activities all year round, want to experience both the mountains and the fjord, the forest and the glacier, go skiing and climb Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro - then the Friluftsliv Adventure line is for you!

Ready for only 50% oxygen?

Climbing Kilimanjaro is not just a physical challenge, but a journey to the very roof of Africa, where every step brings you closer to the peak of freedom.

Reaching Uhuru Peak is an experience that leaves an indelible mark, a journey through nature's extreme contrasts that will amaze you!

Unity

Together with your classmates, you will experience that unity becomes stronger with each step, where shared challenges create a unique bond that grows with each turn. 

Through wind, rain and sunshine, the class finds strength in each other, sharing both the laughter around the campfire and the silence of the magnificent nature. 

Autumn is filled with a myriad of different activities. You can climb the sharp peaks of Jotunheimen, go sea kayaking in the steep and dramatic Nærøyfjord, and experience the adventure ice on Svellnosbreen. Norway's highest mountain, Galdhøpiggen, gives you spectacular views! Feel the adrenaline rushing in time with the river on rafting in Sjoa, and experience mastery when you climb one of the rock walls near the school. Most trips are combined with camping, and when the weather is at its best we sleep under the stars after an evening around the campfire.

How to finance your school year?

Some people think that folk high schools are expensive, but it is significantly cheaper to live in a boarding house at a folk high school than to live in a dormitory and pay for your own food. See the calculation example below:

School costs per month (9) (board, lodging, all travel and activities) NOK 18,883.
- Support from the Loan Fund per month (9) (stipend level for 26-27) Kr. 16169,-
You must cover yourself per month Kr. 918,-

We have gathered all practical information about finances, insurance and other important things on one common page. On the Loan Fund's website you can also find more information and apply for support.
