School trips to South Africa

Enthral history, biology and geography students with a school trip to South Africa

South Africa has so much to offer your history and biology students whatever key stage they are studying. A tour of South Africa will captivate with its vibrant cities and townships, beautiful beaches, awe-inspiring landscapes, exotic flora and fauna, unique wildlife and fascinating political history.  Home to eleven official languages, many different ethnic groups, spectacular landscapes and an array of wildlife in its natural habitat, South Africa has earnt its reputation as the "Rainbow Nation".

Discover the Drakensberg Mountains, South Africa’s highest mountain range, Cape Towns Table Mountain, see the scorched red earth of the Kalahari Desert and breathe in the fresh ocean air around the Cape of Good Hope to the south or visit  the lush green valleys of Swaziland

There is plenty of opportunities to see wildlife during your trip: whether that’s spotting the big five with our expert ranger in the Kruger National Park, catching the baboons at play at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve or a chance encounter with a whale at Plettenberg Bay.

History students can gain a fascinating insight into South Africa's troubled past and the end of the apartheid regime, the fragile harmony which exists now and the challenges of a multicultural society. Take your pupils to the District Six Museum which provides a touching reconstruction of the township from which 60,000 inhabitants were forcibly removed under the 1970s apartheid regime or take a boat trip to Robben Island to see where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years in captivity.
