Study abroad in South Africa to forge a new, internationally sensitive consciousness. If you’re passionate about nature and the great outdoors, South Africa will delight you with its unusual landscape, wildlife, and opportunities for adventure. Go on a star-gazing safari with Astronomy Africa or opt for a traditional safari trip in Kruger National Park to see lions, buffalo, leopards, elephants, and rhinos. Hang out with African penguins at Boulders Beach while you swim and sunbathe. Go whale watching near the town of Hermanus, not far from Cape Town, or go cage diving with Great White sharks in Gansbaai. In the springtime, see fields of wildflowers in bloom at Namaqua National Park. Visit the Cradle of Humankind, the richest human fossil site in Africa where our species possibly originated. Ride a cable car up Table Mountain for incredible views of Cape Town. Hike the gorgeous, green slopes of Drakensburg and see the tallest waterfall in Africa, called Tugela, up close. When you’re in South Africa, you’ll reconnect with the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
