About South Africa Programs
It may be an ideal place to find big game, but in South Africa, the name of the game is diversity—in language, culture, landscape, and wildlife. It’s the perfect place to experience unforgettable adventures and experience our shared humanity with the people of different cultures.
Head out on a safari adventure in Kruger National Park, home to the greatest variety of wildlife species on the African continent. It’s not all about lions though! Spend time at the Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center learning about the incredible animals in their care. Discover Blyde River Canyon – one of the largest canyons on Earth – and experience spectacular views at Boulders Beach, a sheltered bay that many African penguins call home.
