Beautiful Cape Town

Cape Town is the third most populous city in South Africa. It is the legislative capital of South Africa, as well as capital of the Western Cape province. Cape Town is famous for its natural harbour, as well as its location near the Cape of Good Hope.

Cape Town is the tourism capital of South Africa, receiving the largest number of tourists of any South African city.
The area is also famous for its unique plant life: fynbos (an Afrikaans word meaning "fine bush"), a shrubby vegetation type similar to other winter rainfall shrublands, in which proteas are prominent and characteristic and which occurs nowhere else but the Cape coastal belt, the adjacent mountains and some isolated inland mountain tops. Fire is a necessary stage in the lives of almost all fynbos plants. In readiness for fire, most proteas retain their seeds on the bush for at least one year, a habit known as serotiny. They do this in structures which resemble the original flowerheads. In some species these structures are strikingly beautiful and long-lasting, which accounts for their use in dried floral arrangements.

Local wineries offer tastings and informative tours are available. August and September are the best time to visit the west coast, because the desert comes to life after the winter rains and the wild flowers bloom in profusion

Group tours to South Africa designed to take travelers closer and renew their faith.

With our young and vibrant team , we pride ourselves in our sense of the expectations of true travelers – people who are as much interested in seeing it all as they are in becoming part of a global unity. With our in-born passion for traveling, we have gained a remarkable knowledge of the diversity South Africa has to offer in landscapes, wildlife, multi-cultural charm and historical and political aspects. And true to our mission of “taking you closer”, Groups to Africa tours introduce the tourist to the very essence of it all – the people who live here, their heritage, their habits, their joys, their needs, as well as a solid dose of home-grown South African hospitality.

Faith & Fellowship travel
As one of our specialist services, Groups to Africa tours offer Faith & Fellowship tours to South Africa that offer travelers a wonderful opportunity of combining the fun of traveling with an enriching experience in faith and fellowship. These tours are geared to take single persons or groups on a road of new and fresh discoveries in human relations and faith and have been compiled to facilitate cross-cultural fellowship – experiences that have proved to be humbling and motivational to both visitor and host.

George van der Wath, Managing Director of Groups to Africa: “We consider tours successful when travelers return home with a clearer understanding of our country and its people, with newly-formed relationships between fellow Christian travelers, as well as rewarding personal experiences.”

Cost-effective destination
A great bonus in traveling to South Africa today is the array of options available to tourists, designed to suit just about every budget. And with the Rand/Dollar exchange rate so lucrative to American travelers, there is every reason to start planning a most rewarding faith tour at a very favorable rate right now!

In the words of a great leader....

Nelson Mandela
Inaugural speech, 1994

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness,
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about
Shrinking so that other people
won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people
Permission to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others

Dear George
Many thanks for the ways you looked after us, joked with us and said just the right thing. I knew I would have a good time with HCJB, but having a committed Christian as our guide made it extra special. I loved the dinner with South Africans & the insight you gave us about your people. We will surely pray more intelligently now.
