South-Western Africa
South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia:
- Witness the rich legacy of post-apartheid South Africa as history evolves to recreate this fascinating and diverse country.
- Contrast the world’s trendiest shopping centers with ancient villages steeped with culture and tradition.
- Observe elephants lumbering across the plains, baboons stealing sandwiches, giraffes peeking in your shower, and lions lounging in the shade.
- Feel the wind-swept vistas of the Kalahari Desert, the desolation of the San tribe, and the vastness of gentle Namibia.
- This semester is for you if you like: music, dancing, history, animals, culture, surfing, cities, heat, photography, sand, languages, and remoteness.
“It was fascinating to interview locals about how apartheid affected their lives. I gained an understanding of history that can only be obtained through talking with someone with personal experience. I can't imagine a better way to come to understand South Africa's political switch-over from apartheid. "
