Why South Africa?The Southern region of African continent is marked with a number of mind-blowing sites to visit, witness, and remember; a big thanks to the amazing South Africa. The country is burgeoned with some stellar tourist hotspots and sites that are known within the travel circuit, and some hidden gems as well which needs to be explored.

Transformation – Leisure To Volunteer TravelingVolunteering has accelerated significantly as a way of traveling in South Africa in recent years which has provided many gap year travelers the opportunity to explore the country in a much closer and better way.

How we Help?Volunteering Solutions provide placements in two of the most exciting cities in South Africa; Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Here are some of the spots a volunteer is highly advised to visit during their sojourn:

1. Table Mountain

One spot that has placed South Africa amongst several traveler’s guides and advisories of must visits, is the mighty Table Mountain. A 1085 m tall, flat top mountain overlooking the magnificent city of Cape Town is a sure shot visit by anyone who travels to Cape Town.

2. Kruger National Park

Covering a huge area of over 19,500 sq. kms, the Kruger National Park is one of the largest and adventurous game reserves in the entire continent. Popular for inhabiting the famous five of Africa (Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Rhinos, and Elephants), volunteers can visit this reserve during any of the weekends to taste the excitement of Africa.

3. Robben Island

This island, located in Table Bay, holds a huge significance in the history of South Africa. It was used as a prison base during the apartheid era in the country and has held Nelson Mandela for a long 17 years. Though a controversial spot in South Africa, this island has every ingredient of a beautiful spot.

4. Garden Route

Seldom will you come across a highway road or a route to be even considered as a tourist attraction, but when you take the top gear while on the Garden Route, you will realize why it is so much popular. This 200 kms ‘paradise stretch’ is marked with a series of stellar views combining mountains, beaches, rocky shores, palm fringe lanes, and more.

5. Boulders Beach

There are white sandy beaches, palm fringe beaches, secluded open beaches, and then there are beaches formed by huge granite boulders; that’s exactly what you get to witness in Cape Town. A nice way to rejuvenate from all the hard work put in during your volunteer project in Cape Town, by making a visit to this amazing beach side.

6. Cape of Good Hope

And it doesn’t ends in Cape Town at just the Boulders Beach. If you want a rather more adventurous and green ambient beachside, visit the famous Cape of Good Hope peninsular region for a great weekend getaway in South Africa.  

7. Lion’s Head

Another mesmerizing spot in the city of Cape Town, the Lion’s Head is a tall 2,195 feet mountain with a top that reflects the shape of a lion’s head. It forms an extended part of the table mountain range and showcase a brilliant view of the city in the backdrop.

8. Cango Caves

Make the most of your weekend off during your volunteer work in Port Elizabeth with wildlife at the national park and visit this amazing and intriguing part of Oudtshoorn town. Located at the foothills of Swartberg range, these caves are over 20 million years old and makes an important part of South African culture.

9. Constantia

At around 15kms south of mainland Cape Town, is this aristocratic suburb of Constantia. Known for its huge and plush vineyards, this suburb is one of the oldest in South Africa and portrays a stellar view.

10. Lesedi Cultural VillageVolunteering in South Africa is itself a great platform to interact with the native Africans and understand about their root traditions and lifestyle. However, a specifically set up village for such purpose is always a treat. The Lesedi Cultural village is exactly the spot where you can get the opportunity to witness and interact with all the tribal communities of Africa and learn about their traditions.
