Description: This program offers the rare and extremely special opportunity to experience South African customs and cultures while living with South African host family based in all cultural backgrounds, but especially in black, Indian, colored communities! This program is not only offering our international students the option to learn and understand more about South Africa's cultural diversity but also to build new bridges between fellow South Africans!

World Study Group Southern Africa seeks energetic, curious students from around the globe, who are eager to learn about another culture, who enjoy interacting with people of different ethnic/cultural backgrounds, who are not afraid of stepping into a new, very often extremely different world.

Highlights: Our Cultural Exchange Program always starts with an intensive Welcome Orientation Seminar/Intercultural Training! Our primary concern is giving our students the best, the safest possible start. We take great care in providing helpful information to be successful and safe while in South Africa.

Part the experience can be our Adventure and Culture Study Tours to Kruger National Park & Cape Town and our Durban Beach & Adventure Camp!
