Volunteer Teaching in a primary school in Cape Town, South Africa

Accommodation: volunteer teaching in a primary school in Bookap, South Africa

Volunteers can live in community with other international volunteers, interns or students in a shared flat, backpacker or in a host family. Please note, that the fee given only includes the accommodation with a host family. Volunteers, who wish to be accommodated in shared flats, are due to extra fees. Host family: Stay with a host family and learn about the daily life in South Africa. We offer host families in middle class areas of Cape Town. You will get a private, furnished room and share the bathroom with the family. Food is supplied by the family as per their normal diet and most families also assist with your laundry. Bed linen & towels are provided. You will become a part of the family for the duration of your stay. Our host families are spread all over Cape Town. We personally visit all of our families before we accept them to our program. We are unable to guarantee a family within walking distance to your project and therefore you should budget for additional transport costs (approx. 1-2 Euro per day for bus, minibus or train). Self catering shared flat Right next to the school is a shared flat used by international volunteers, interns and students. That type of shared accommodation is either a sizable apartment or a small house with 4-8 rooms that can be rented individually by local and international students, interns, volunteers, young professionals or other young people. You meet new friends quickly. Often roommates arrive about the same time and are new to Cape Town, so they can join and experience the city together. All rooms are furnished. Bed linen and towels are provided. Wireless Internet is available, in some homes at extra charge. All shared flats are self catering and offer a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove, cutlery and crockery etc. You can cook together with your housemates or just for yourself.  We work with selected providers of student accommodation in Cape Town. One shared house is just next to the school in the suburb of Bo Kaap, which is the Cape Malay area of Cape Town and within walking distance to clubs and restaurants of town (Longstreet). The additional fee for an accommodation in a shared flat is 265 Euro for 4 weeks and 15 Euro additional each week. Please request the exact fee upon your application.
Backpacker: Backpacker and hostels are perfect accommodation for short & short term stays on a budget. Guests are usually of same age and mindset as volunteers and it is therefore easy to get to know other people and travel together with other guests. Most hostels offer affordable tour and travel options. Our prices are based on a bed in a dormitory. Dormitories are usually for 6 to 8 people that sleep in one room in bunk beds. Most places offer to lock personal items away in a safe. Breakfast and other meals are not included in the price. Bed linen is provided and towels are not. On request we can arrange accommodation in guest houses and hotels of any standard (extra charge).
