About us

Matric Holidays is a devision of MOTE Travel, a registered travel experience company established in 2007.

Every year thousands of school leavers are flocking to beaches and mass gatherings to celebrate the completion of their school years. It is a brief moment to get away from all the pressures experienced due to exams, daily time tables, and scheduled responsibilities.

However, not everyone sees these mass gatherings as their ideal way to clear their minds. MatricHolidays provides experiences for those school leavers (ages 18 - 21) who seek an alternative to the yearly festivals, beach parties, and mass gatherings. Matric Holidays is all about having fun while exploring Africa and #MakeItCount…

Since 2007, MOTE Travel has facilitated numerous groups with a total of more than 5000 participants to various destinations across Africa.

The founder, and often the tour guide himself, is an experienced traveler with more than 40 countries visited, most of them in Africa. Between him and his team, the participants are set to have a Matric Holiday Experience of a lifetime.
