Connect-123 is a one-stop shop for whatever you need, whenever you need it, before, during, and after your stay in Cape Town. We know South Africa is far from home. We take care of the details so that you can work hard, play even harder, and only worry about learning and having fun.

Setting Description:

Cape Town is rated as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and for good reason: few cities are home to white sandy beaches, scenic hiking trails, spectacular ocean views, and a 1,086 meter tall mountain!

Cape Town has something for everyone. Nature lovers can explore national parks, picturesque botanical gardens, historic winelands, and endless stretches of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean coasts. Adventure-seekers can sail, paraglide, surf, bungee jump, shark cage dive, sandboard, cycle, climb, run, paddle, and swim their way around the Western Cape at any time of the year. Wild African game safaris are within a two-hour drive. And the social scene is not to be missed, from affordable, world-class restaurants on the Waterfront to mingling with local students at popular Long Street clubs.

Cape Town is also a city of sharp contrasts, where you can explore issues of social change and diversity and learn about new cultures.
