South Africa

South Africa, the top destination in Sub-Saharan Africa, is a fascinating country of both harmony and tension. With varied landscapes, you can enjoy semi deserts, snow-capped mountains, the enormous Kalahari, beaches and vineyards. Although famous for sights such as Table Mountain, Cape Town and its many game parks, South Africa is also home to a great number of rich cultures. It is an intriguing country, where the fancy hotels are close to the sprawling townships, and where a racial past still haunts the present. South Africa can be confronting, but if you allow yourself to see all sides of this beautiful country, you will be richly rewarded.

What’s the difference?

Communities are any tourism/volunteer initiatives that are owned and run by the community
members. Organisations are not-for-profits that work with communities to promote their
initiatives and is a good place to look for volunteering opportunities. Travel agencies are ethical
for-profits that work with communities to promote their programs and tours worldwide.
