Home-Base in Cape Town

While I am in Cape Town I will be staying at 'Home Base' This is a house provided and run by Cross-Cultural Solutions. The house is located in a safe area and provides a home like atmosphere for the volunteers to relax in. There will be about 12 volunteers with me during my three week stay. They provide us with three meals a day - all traditional South African cuisine. They also provide us with transportation to and from our volunteer placement and all cultural learning activities.

The staff who run the home are all from the area and are very knowledgeable about the culture. They will be a great resource for us during our stay - not only in learning more about South Africa, but also in staying safe. I feel much more comfortable staying at 'Home Base' than I would staying with a host family.
