I studied abroad on the spring of 2022 voyage. Doing this voyage absolutely changed my life. In the span of 4 months, we traveled to 14 different countries and fully immersed ourselves in their cultures. This experience truly did change my life. I grew so much and got out of my shell. I gained independence but also met the most amazing friends that I still travel with to this day. I recommend this program to anyone thinking about doing it, you will not regret it!

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Cape Town

Geography & Demographics

The Mediterranean climate offers beautiful weather year round and more sunshine than Madrid. Winters last from June until August and are mild with usually only a couple colder fronts each year. Summers are warm with a few weeks of more extreme heat in late February and early March.

Cape Town lives in a biodiversity hotspot and many plants that grow on the mountains within the city don’t grow anywhere else in the world. The typically wet climate provides a lush landscape full of flowers and green plants year round.
