South Africa—your Outdoor Classroom
“A dynamic country, in the midst of change providing a rich backdrop against which to conduct rewarding and captivating studies”
South Africa is a study of contrasts: from the ancient and awe-inspiring geogra-phy, to the modern and equally inspiring political landscape. The great leaders such as Nelson Mandela and the unheralded but no less significant voting citizen-ry have transformed the country from pariah state to case study for negotiated settlements. The contrast and lessons offered by first and third world living cheek
by jowl, the aspirations for tomorrow finding seed in the realities of yesterday. Some 21 years into freedom the country still has teething issues and is experiencing fresh challenges that bring any textbook covering socio-political, economic and planning policies to life. All of these facets combine forcefully to create a rich tapestry from which to learn about how cultural differences may be
bridged, how to reconcile development and conservation, how to find solutions rooted in local knowledge and most importantly develop an appreciation for the different ways things happen and work. This is the basis by which to really learn about yourself in the grand scheme of our global society.
African Quiver takes you to the very best this region has to offer through itineraries that
are tailor made, academically engaging, experiential and, crucially, full of fun
Together, with our clients, we celebrate, protect and share the
treasures of Africa across the globe
African Quiver
