The DestinationsKruger National Park - The Premier Safari Location In Southern Africa After our overnight flight from the USA, and a night in Johannesburg, we will begin our journey with a safari to one of the great game parks of the world. Three days and two nights on photo safari will give us the opportunity to relax and adjust as we experience the safari of a lifetime searching for the Big Five (Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard) and all the birds and animals Africa has to offer. Bring your camera and binoculars!  Johannesburg - The City of Gold “Joburg,” also known as Egoli, is our next stop in South Africa. Two days and three nights will lead us to the Apartheid Museum in the black township of Soweto and the Voortrekker Monument outside Pretoria to explore the white Afrikaner experience. Both days, with their unique perspectives, will help us better understand South Africa’s history in ways most travelers never experience. We’ll be joined in Joburg by TNHF South African staff to help us begin to understand the critical role TNHF is playing in the development of this nation.  Cape Town - The Mother City Here we’ll encounter These Numbers Have Faces scholars in their home town, AND explore one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Over six days and five nights, we’ll have an opportunity to spend time with TNHF staff and students in Cape Town, learning their hopes and dreams for the future of their nation. We'll visit the District Six Museum and sail to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned to learn more about South Africa’s transition from apartheid to democracy. A stunning 'safari' drive along the coast to Cape of Good Hope, the southern-most tip of the African continent, will showcase baboons, penguins, ostriches, whales, and more.  Time With TNHF - The Cape Flats Townships While in Cape Town we'll enjoy time with our brilliant scholars and get an inside look into the TNHF program in the Cape Flats. Visits to local township schools, universities, and the personal homes of TNHF students will reveal the life-changing work of These Numbers Have Faces. This is an experience you definitely don't want to miss.
