Arrival And Departure Information

You must arrive on the published start date of the expedition. Once you have arrived in Johannesburg International Airport, you will join a coach organized by GVI to transfer volunteers directly to one of the expedition bases. This journey takes approximately five hours - it's also a good opportunity to meet your fellow participants and see a bit of the countryside before you arrive at the base. Please note that this is at your own expense. Costs can be found on the dates and costs page.
