the Expertise Group

Wind Sand & Stars is proud to be part of Wilderness Expertise. Wilderness Expertise Ltd incorporates two other brands that offer high quality experiences for school groups that develop an awareness of our world, its people and cultures, and ourselves;

Wilderness Expertise specialises in providing overseas personal development expeditions for students aged 12 to 18. The expeditions help those involved realise their potential in a safe, supportive and exhilarating environment. They have an excellent reputation and are committed to staying small –  only working with a maximum of 30 teams per year, allowing them to retain strong links with all the schools they work with and provide the highest quality experience from start to finish. Above all, the WE team are passionate about what they do and this enthusiasm is catching!

Inspire Worldwide specialises in setting up school links, providing the opportunity to support and take part in hands-on, sustainable, community development projects.  The projects are perfectly suited to schools who want to offer their students something different and want them to develop cultural understanding, global awareness and make a sustainable and long-term impact. Inspire offers you the chance to develop a long-term partnership between your school and one of our pre-vetted partner charities, or to develop an existing link you might already hold.

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.”

Christine Dunmow, Exploring Ethiopia’s Orthodox History with John Binns 2016
