South Africa Travel Advice
|
|
South Africa is the well-stocked spice rack of Africa, giving a taste of all the flavours of the continent! The country's had a troubled past but has finally got its multi-ethnic population co-operating, making an effort to sort out the economy and the lives of its people. However, there are still too many people living below the poverty line, in townships and rural communities, with few amenities and so the amazing and abundant wildlife is being overlooked… Which is where you come in…

Real Gap's South Africa Highlights
Cape Town
Backdropped by the majestic Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africas 3rd most populous city, is its best known destination. Vibrant nightlife and Beautiful beaches await the curious visitor. However, alongside the glamour of a modern city, there still exist troubled townships living well below the poverty line, in desperate need of volunteer assistance. This is where you come in. Make a positive impact on these townships with our Cape Town Teaching and Development or Cape Town Childrens Home For Girls Projects.
Kruger National Park
Covering an area the size of Wales, Kruger national park is South Africas largest game reserve. Lions, Giraffes, Elephants and Warthogs are just some of the creatures who call Kruger home.

Help protect this fascinating creature and learn all there is to know with our South Africa White Shark Conservation project.
