Travel to South Africa and discover the fascinating history and breathtaking scenery of this African nation. An English course in South Africa will let you explore fantastic landscapes including the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park with one of the largest nature conservancies in the world, the rugged Drakensburg mountain range, and the 300 mile stretch of wineries, fishing villages, farms and small towns along the Garden Route. South Africa has the most intensely populated floral kingdom in the world and a knockout selection of wildlife, from whales and Great White sharks to lions, elephants, leopards and over 900 species of birds.
But not only that, South Africa boasts excellent shopping, which is today one of the biggest attractions for foreign visitors. You can also learn English while taking part in the rich South African cultural heritage, for example listening to live township jazz and blues, and up and coming pop and rock musicians. Today, African musicians from all over the continent perform in nightclubs in South Africa and even techno-raves and house music have found their own variations in local culture. South Africa also boasts four Nobel Peace Prize winners and will be host to the 2010 Football World Cup!
