How to Get Here

Social activities

A key part of your language travel experience happens once classes are over. The best way to practise your new language skills is to get out and use them in the real world. We know you will also want to find out about the country you are visiting, to sample the lifestyle of her people and to explore the area. In each of our locations LAL excels in providing social and leisure activities that are fun, engaging and good value for money.

Shark Cage Diving: Engage with the great white shark up-close-and-personal, with only a cage separating one from this deadly predator. Shark viewing from the boat will allow one to see multiple sharks circling in the open waters.

Day Safari: Drive out to the reserve for welcome drinks and a light breakfast before embarking on a 3-hour game drive to see the Big 5. This is the closest reserve to Cape Town, with free-roaming animals, except for the lion which is kept in an enclosure.

Ratanga Junction Theme Park: Ratanga Junction is the only theme park in Cape Town, with 30 rides ranging from kids and family rides to thrill rides for the more adventurous. A multitude of games and entertainment such as a live bird show and snake man, as well as live music, are also available.

Canal Walk Shopping Mall: With over 400 shops, Canal Walk offers the most comprehensive shopping experience in South Africa. The mall itself is an architectural delight, with the quality of infrastructure matching the quality of retail shopping on offer for both local and international brands.
