The April tour has become very popular and it will be impossible to improve on the excellent itinerary. The weather was great the last few years and the skiing was a highlight. On this tour we stay more centrally and enjoy the meals in the places where we stay. Not only the itinerary will remain unchanged, but also the price. Friday 26 March – We depart from Cape Town International Airport via Johannesburg and Dubai to London. We arrive in London at 12:00. Only the meals on the plane are included. |

Monday 29 March, London – At Temba we believe that you learn the most when you are on your own. You get a lot of free time to experience the city on your own or with your friends.
