Volunteer in South Africa: Destination

South Africa is one of the most fascinating places on Earth. It’s also one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Africa, with the largest proportions of white, Indian, and mixed‑race populations on the continent. In South Africa, 11 languages are recognized as official! A kaleidoscopic country — the “Rainbow Nation,” as South Africans call themselves. What could be more captivating, interesting, and exotic than a trip to this country! The very air here seems charged with exoticism, mystery, romance, and something else wonderfully surprising and alluring, making South Africa feel like a completely different world you can explore and get to know by joining this program. Most projects are based around Cape Town, one of the country’s most beautiful and safest cities.

“I love South Africa. I’m drawn to both the way people live here and to the people themselves. I love the local climate — it’s just right for living. And it’s so beautiful all around! You don’t have to go anywhere special to see something extraordinary — it’s all around you every day!”

Elizaveta, Magnetogorsk

“This is the most European country in Africa, where modernity and ancient traditions curiously combine, and truly wild nature sits alongside bustling cities. It’s a country where gold and diamonds are mined, where people hunt in the famous veld, where excellent wine is produced, where the Zulu kingdom once existed, and where the English fought the Dutch. It’s a country whose southern tip — the Cape of Good Hope — marks the end of inhabited lands. It’s a country on the edge of the world. Welcome to South Africa!”
