Every
year, YFU South Africa offers a December Tour. Although the
places we visit and the duration of the Tour may change from
year to year, the basic idea remains the same. On this page,
you can have a look at photos of one of our previous tours.
Remember, the December Tour is optional, and not part of the
programme fee. Students can take part at an additional cost.
More details will be supplied during the orientations once
you are in South Africa.
