Frequently asked questions

How many people will be on the trip with me?

There will be between 3 to 10 people on the trip with you. We limit each tour to 10 people to ensure quality and genuine connection.

What is the weather like in South Africa?

We choose the dates of our trips for summer in South Africa. The weather can vary though - sometimes it is hot, sometimes it is cool, and sometimes it is windy (and all in the span of a day)! You should pack for hot weather (shorts, T-shirts, a bathing suit, a baseball hat), fall-like weather (a fleece and a beanie), and a rain jacket.

What is included in the trip?

The cost of the trip includes all accommodations and organized activities. The 8 night core trip includes 8 breakfasts, 7 lunches, and 6 dinners. The 2 night extension includes an additional 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners. The cost does not include airfare, airport pick up and drop off, and travel insurance, which is required for all guests.

Do I need a visa for South Africa?

If you are traveling on a U.S., European, or Canadian passport—along with those from many other countries—you do not need a tourist visa for stays of up to 90 days. Please see the full list of visa-exempt countries here.

Do I need any specific vaccines or anti-malaria medication for South Africa?

We recommend being up to date on all of your regular vaccines, but you do not need any specific vaccines for South Africa. There is not malaria in the part of South Africa where we are going. If you plan go to other parts of Africa before or after the trip, you may need to have a Yellow Fever vaccine and you may want to get antimalarial medication from your doctor before departure.

I don’t like yoga or barre. Is this trip for me?

Yes! There are so many things to do and everything is optional.

What is barre?

Barre is a low-impact workout combining movement from ballet, Pilates, yoga, and strength training. You typically use 2 - 4 pound weights and your own body weight in small, repeated movements to strengthen your muscles. You do not need any dance experience to take part.
