5 unique experiences that will make you fall in love with South Africa

Do you want to combine some volunteering with your trip to South Africa, then this project might be something for you! It's one of the most popular projects that we collaborate with in South Africa, and the outcome of the daily work with the kids will first and foremost benefit the local children, but chances are, that you'll also grow on a personal level through your time here.

And don't worry, you'll still get a chance to get the full Cape Town-experience. Most of your day will be spent outdoors and on the beaches, just together with local kids. Does that sound great or what?    

We're staying in the surf universe. South Africa is known as one the very best destinations in the world. If your passion is surfing - this is the place to go. This 8 day camp in Cape Town gives you the possibility to learn how to surf like a pro. Besides that, you can look forward to a great atmosphere in the camp with other young people from all around the world. Oh, and did we mention that the location is superb? Well, you don't get a better chance of exploring Cape Town while learning to surf! 

Included is accommodation, 7 x breakfast, use of equipment during your stay, transfer to the beach and surf lessons. 

This national park a few hours from Johannesburg is one of the very best places in the whole continent, if you want to spot the amazing wildlife that Africa is so proud of. That includes the popular Big 5 such as elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and buffalos - if you're lucky. Prepare for some nice game drives in the national park together with a group of other cool adventurers, just like yourself. Spotting wildlife will never be the same after you've experienced Krüger!

The Big Cat Centre is located around 30 km from Kimberley close to the border between Free State and Northern Cape in South Africa.
