Overview
The 5 Day Animal Experience programme consists of an intensive and interactive Conversational English course followed by a specially designed tour itinerary to introduce you to the animal kingdom of South Africa.
You will visit Garden Route towns along the way and be exposed to situations where you will be expected to practise your new Conversational English skills. We call this Experiential Learning. Encounter some of Africa’s Big Five while enjoying the diversity of the Garden Route landscape. Travel from the coastal forests to the semi-arid Little Karroo. Get up close and personal with animals including lion, buffalo, rhinoceros, elephant and the great white shark.
