📍 About the location
🎒 Leisure activities
Leisure Activities: The Weekend is meant to be for free tours that the group can organize by themselves. All our work camps are reserved for cultural nights when each volunteer can present her/his country and culture and prepare a dish from your country.
Activities are typically self-driven by the volunteers during their free time. While we provide guidance and suggestions based on local opportunities and safety, volunteers often explore the area, organize social activities, or engage with the local community on their own initiative. We have seen in the past if we state something in the infosheet young people would rather explore on their own. We have several places of interest such as Pillanesburg National Park, Aparthied Museum in Joburg, Constitutional Hill, Cape Town, and even volunteers can organise to visit other countries such as Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls, Botswana so the list is endless.

🤝 Meeting point
Volunteers are usually welcomed at a Gautrain Pretoria station upon arrival, and we require them to provide detailed arrival information prior to their travel as someone can pick them up from there. We also have an option of pick up from the airport that however cost is to be covered by the volunteer.
ℹ️ Additional information
The work camp participation fee is strictly Euro 300 per month, and this covers simple accommodation, food and project expenses office running/administrative expenses, certificate of participation during the camp, communication prior to, during and after the camp. Please note that this does not include travel expenses to and from the camp, pick up from airport so participants are asked to reserve a small amount of money for transport to the camp and vice-verse. We advise all volunteers to ask for advice from us when they are planning to book their ticket to South Africa.
Language: The community has multi-cultural people and English is mostly spoken with local languages such as Sotho, Zulu, and Tshwana to name a few.
