Voluntary work in equine therapy in South Africa

Cape Town - a city in which several worlds are united: big city, sea and wilderness in the immediate vicinity. During your stay you can not only go swimming, but also enjoy the South African flair while shopping or in a café and explore the fascinating nature.

With over four million inhabitants, Cape Town is the second largest city in South Africa. Because the city has played a crucial role in the country's history in many ways, it is affectionately known as the "mother of all cities". The famous "Cape of Good Hope", where the first daring sailors docked at the time of the European explorers, is located in the Table Mountain National Park. 

Due to its location, directly on Table Bay of the Atlantic Ocean, you have a breathtaking panorama view from almost everywhere. Dare the challenge and let yourself be enchanted by this beauty!

Cape Town is inhabited by people from many different ethnic groups, which is also reflected in the cityscape. Convince yourself of the colorful houses of Bo-Kaaps, the impressive street art in the alleys or the ever-present Afro-Chic. Cape Town is multicultural and proudly displays every facet of the local population.

On your days off, you have the opportunity to explore the sprawling metropolis together with the other volunteers, where countless activities await you!

Enjoy the city's urban vibes, visit the hip cafes and sample local delicacies at one of the many markets. There is also no lack of historical sites in Cape Town: Visit, for example, Robben Island, a former prison island, which is about twelve kilometers from Cape Town, or one of the many museums, such as the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa.

If you want to clear your head, you can relax on the many beautiful beaches or throw yourself into the waves with your surfboard. The extensive beach of Camps Bay, for example, is very well known, with its promenade lined with restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Let yourself be infected by the relaxed beach vibe of Cape Town!

Would you rather be active in sports? Then climb Table Mountain, the symbol of Cape Town, where you can enjoy breathtaking views over the city. The Lion's Head is also definitely worth a hike - but you have to be in good physical condition here, as it gets a bit more strenuous from half the way up.

If you have a little more time, you should definitely take a trip to the Cape of Good Hope, discover one of the many national parks nearby or take a tour along the famous Garden Route, which takes you past beautiful landscapes and enchanting sandy beaches. Or you can visit Boulders Beach on the Cape Peninsula south of Cape Town, where you can watch the many cute African penguins that cavort here right on the beach. 

You can experience all this and much more while volunteering in Cape Town West. Jump into the adventure! What are you waiting for?
