Note regarding group meals:

Non-billable items posted above are estimates and will differ for each individual depending on their personal needs, course requirements, and personal choices.  Fluctuations in international currency will affect total expenditures. 
  • The estimated airfare listed above is based on fares provided online in December of 2024 with departure from Dulles International Airport (IAD) arriving in Cape Town (CPT) with one stop in New Jersey (EWR).  This is an estimate and fares will change with availability and routing.
