South Africa

"This was the best volunteer experience that I have ever had. It was the perfect mix of work and play. I really had the time of my life while making a difference in the world."

Jessica Lincoln, South Africa Volunteer

Free Time in South Africa

During your free time, you may want to explore the historical area of Cape Town. You can also visit nearby beaches and enjoy the restaurants and entertainment by the waterfront. There is also time to visit Cape Point & Cape Peninsula, Africa's Southern tip, see nearby Cape Wine lands, or tour the many galleries and museums in this fascinating international city. You may also want to visit Robben island, where Nelson Mandela and others were imprisoned during apartheid. If you are interested in seeing other areas of South Africa in your free time, such as Johannesburg, Durban, or the nearby Cape Overberg, Cape Town is a hub for travel to all parts of the country.
