Camp Itinerary

On arrival, the campers will be welcomed at Johannesburg International Airport by their tour leader and our team of experienced South African and international staff and chaperoned to the first resident camp in the Mpumalanga province.

Nestling in a secluded valley on the banks of a sparkling mountain stream, lie the chalets where evenings will be spent around campfires, learning about Africa and its environment, and experiencing the thrill of nocturnal sounds. Amongst the mountains, indigenous forests and crisp-morning mists, they will be exploring nature trails, going horse-riding and following streams of crystal clear water. The campers will enjoy "Africa" through Pottery, Dance and Music of the African culture.

Sabie is a central point to experience the breathtaking views of the Blyde River Canyon, Bourkes Luck Potholes and the tantalising nostalgia of the bygone era at Pilgrim's Rest. Winter in the wild is unforgettable and a unique experience awaits you at the world-famous Kruger National Park, with its abundant wildlife and unforgettable sunsets.

With our "mission" in mind, Fellowship and Diversity, the campers will be able to teach everyone about the cultures of their own countries through song, dance and entertainment.

The next resident camp is tucked away on the waters' edge of the magnificent Eastern Cape coast (birthplace of Nelson Mandela), a quaint village of chalets. A perfect little coastal paradise providing beauty and the opportunity to participate in various sport, beach and watersport activities. The ultimate ethnic experience will be visiting an African Village to experience the lifestyle of the African culture.

Horse-riding, hiking trails and walks along the beach allow them to appreciate the beauty of the Wild Coast, while also exploring and experiencing the unique and special creatures that live at an estuary. Along the beach is an old wreck of a ship that ran ashore many years ago.

The group will depart from the camp (with a visit to a pineapple farm) through the Tsitiskama Forest via Nature's Valley to the beautiful Garden Route and to the lakes of Knysna. They will also visit the world-renowned Cango Caves, an Ostrich Farm and the Cheetah and Crocodile Farm in Oudtshoorn. One can appreciate nature while mountain biking through the forests in the area.

Then it's on to the Mother City, Cape Town, through the magnificent fruit-growing countryside. To end their stay in this beautiful country, the group will go where "the two oceans meet", visit Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens and Robben Island. (Robben Island has been a post box, farm, whaling station, gunnery platform, lunatic asylum, leper colony and prison.)

After spending some time buying gifts from South Africa, they bid their new friends from abroad farewell and journey safely back home.
