SOUTH AFRICA

Wild places. Life changing perspective.

See conservation from the inside.

South Africa brings some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife and landscapes within touching distance — but this is about much more than watching from a safari vehicle.

Students step into the world of conservation, learning alongside experienced local teams and discovering how wildlife, habitats and communities are connected. Then the journey can continue to Cape Town, bringing a completely different side of South Africa into view through its landscapes, culture and history.

Wildlife. Conservation. Culture. A country that keeps changing the perspective.
