EASY

RIGOROUSTOUR PACE

cALL and the calvin Alumni Association are offering a unique opportunity to travel to South Africa. the bottom of the African continent is a land of many races, cultures, and languages, and features an amazingly diverse geography. As we travel through the country we will learn about the massive political changes that occurred in the early 90s when “apartheid” was dismantled and all South Africans were given the right to vote. We will visit museums and other historical sites that highlight differing points of view and experience.

our itinerary includes the two largest cities —

Johannesburg and Pretoria — as well as Cape

town, visits to townships and remote villages,

and two days in the village of Kgautswane. We

will spend three days in Kruger national Park (the

size of Massachusetts), viewing african animals

in the wild from guided, open-air vehicles as well

as from our motorcoach. We will pass through

a marvelous, constantly changing landscape of

mountains, plateaus, and sea coast, observing

(during the southern african spring) unusual flora

such as the “fynbos” in the Cape of Good Hope

region. While in the Cape town area, we will take

a cable car to the top of table Mountain (3000 feet

above the city) for magnificent views. We will also

take a boat trip to Robben island, where nelson

Mandela was imprisoned for many of the years he

was incarcerated. on our drive to the actual Cape

of Good Hope, we will visit a penguin colony and

take a short boat trip to a small island, home to

hundreds of seals. no trip to South africa would be

complete without a visit to Cape Winelands, where

we will visit a vineyard and sample its fine wines.

The supplement for single accommodations is $595 for the tour and $110 for the optional extension. If you register alone but want a roommate, we will do our best to assign one. If a single room must be assigned to any member of the group for any reason, even if it is at the last minute or while on tour, we will need to charge the single supplement.

Documentation: U.S. citizens are required to have a valid passport.
