Cape Town, The Experience.
Language learning becomes more meaningful when it connects you to people, places and experiences. Discover Cape Town through purposeful volunteering and unforgettable exploration with SALA.
Adventure.
Cape Town.
Experience the city, not just the language.
The Experience side of SALA brings together two distinct ways to engage with Cape Town: meaningful volunteering with grassroots organisations and opportunities to explore the landscapes, wildlife, culture, history and adventure that make the city and its surroundings unique.
Two ways to go beyond the classroom.
Choose an experience centred on contribution, exploration — or make both part of your time in Cape Town.
