Here are reviews from people who have taken our trips...
“I loved the combination of history, culture and nature. Our Group Leader was outstanding both in terms of his knowledge and his concern for our safety and well-being. The small-group experience was perfect for getting to know my fellow travelers and fostering a feeling of camaraderie. I would highly recommend this trip to others seeking an introduction to South Africa.”
— Judith from Portland, Maine | Road Scholar Class of ‘17
“This is the trip of a lifetime. I was in awe of the Group Leader due to his knowledge of all things Africa, his good nature, wit and leveled approach to all aspects of the trip. Soweto and the Apartheid Museum were both heartbreaking and impressive. And don't miss the extension to Cape Town. Cape Town itself was an important stop in our knowledge of South Africa.”
— Kathy from Pittsboro, North Carolina | Road Scholar Class of ‘18
