The Good Hope Studies Social Club organises a number of activities per week. You find the schedule below and you can book your favourite activities online.
The activities are a great way to visit all the must-see places in Cape Town and surroundings. Our social club is also a great place to get to know your fellow students socially. Most importantly, however, it is a great opportunity to practice your newly-acquired language skills.
From Cape Town we will travel via False Bay and Hermanus, where we will stop for wine tasting and lunch. We then proceed on our journey to the southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas, which is the official meeting place of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Here you can climb to the top of the old lighthouse, walk to a shipwreck, go for a swim in the Indian Ocean and have many photo opportunities as proof of your visit to this special place.
