What a trip includes

A trip to Cape Town brings together community outreach, football, culture and the views the city is known for. Each programme is adapted to the school, the group and the time of year.

  • A large group of young people stands on a grass pitch behind rows of younger children seated on the grass, while a young man in a white T-shirt speaks to them.

    Community outreach

    • Community outreach in Stellenbosch
    • The Noordhoek outreach programme
    • A full day of community service: preparing sandwiches, planting a vegetable garden, reading with children and supporting a soup kitchen
  • Young people playing football on a wide grass field, one dribbling the ball, with autumn trees behind.

    Football

    • Football matches alongside the outreach programme
    • For schools that choose it, a competitive format with organised matches and training sessions
  • A group of students stand on a street corner outside a bright blue gallery building, under a blue sky with clouds.

    Culture and heritage

    • Bo-Kaap and Cape Malay culture
    • Green Market Square
    • A cultural visit to Stellenbosch
    • Robben Island, as an optional extra
  • A young person leans out of a vehicle and smiles over open bush and low hills at dusk.

    Views and adventure

    • Signal Hill
    • The penguins and Kalk Bay
    • Body surfing at Muizenberg
    • The Lion's Head hike
    • Table Mountain
    • The V&A Waterfront and the Sea Point Promenade at sunset
