A Tip To Prep For Your Trip
Check required vaccinations months before travel, carry basic medications, and ensure travel insurance covers medical emergencies. Some areas require malaria prevention – consult your doctor about appropriate medication. While on tour, consider keeping a basic first aid kit and any prescription medications in original containers. Consider medical evacuation insurance for your insurance coverage.
Our Tour Staff’s Recommendation
Familiarize yourself with the South African culture with a movie! Our tour staff recommends watching “Tsotsi” (2005). This Academy Award-winning film for Best Foreign Language Film offers an unflinching look at life in the townships of Johannesburg. It follows a young gang leader whose life changes after he accidentally kidnaps a baby. The film powerfully depicts contemporary South African urban life, featuring authentic township settings and dialogue in several local languages. Its soundtrack showcases kwaito music, a uniquely South African genre, adding to its cultural authenticity.
