Semester in South Africa

Study in the heart of the Cape Winelands, in the country’s oldest college town. Debate South African politics with the Political Club, learn to sail with the yacht club, or take a world-famous safari to see the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo).

Semester in Stellenbosch is located in Stellenbosch, South Africa, nestled in the foothills of Hottentots-Holland mountain range. It is a rolling wineland, sheltered in the Jonkershoek valley flanked by soaring mountains on all sides. Summers are dry and warm  while winters are cool and rainy, but you'll rarely see snow in this gorgeous locale!

Stellenbosch has a comfortable population of just over 110,000, giving it a city-feel without feeling crowded.  However, if you ever want a faster pace, all the excitement of Cape Town is only a quick bus ride away! [P] South Africa is perfect for you whether you are looking for a scenic walk or are a thrill seeker. Leap from the highest bungee jump on the planet, go diving with great white sharks or go on safari to see lions, elephans, rhinos and so much more!
