SOUTH AFRICA AT A GLANCE

The Republic of South Africa (also known by other official names) is a country located at the southern tip of Africa. It borders the Atlantic and Indian oceans and Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho, an independent enclave surrounded by South African territory.

South Africa has experienced a different history from other nations in Africa because of early immigration from Europe and the strategic importance of the Cape Sea Route.

Parks not to missed for jaw dropping scenery and wildlife:

Cango Caves, Kruger National Park, Blyde River canyon Reserve and Kgalagagi Transfrontier Park (semi-desert).

In Jo’Burg popular tourist destinations include: Gold Reef City Theme Park, the Apartheid Museum and Wanderers Cricket Ground.

In Cape Town: Don’t miss Robben Island the prison museum and a ride in the Table Top Mountain Cable Car.

Climate: Hottest months October to February

Driest months: April to September

Arts festivals: September and October (Jo’burg Jazz festival late Sep)

Time difference from UK: +1hr GMT

YOUR EXPERIENCE

This monkey sanctuary needs your help urgently-too many monkeys and not enough hands! This sanctuary aims to help injured and orphaned monkeys (and a few dogs) , nurse them back to health and where possible to reintroduce them back into the wild.

Volunteers will be involved in many tasks from preparing food, checking animals and devising and helping with stimulation activities for monkeys who are unable to be released back into the wild.
