CEA Port Elizabeth, South Africa - Environmental Studies
(Outgoing Program)
This program examines the unique political and environmental issues that define South Africa. Participants visit one or more of the Eastern Cape's famous game reserves as well as coastal areas such as Woody Cape Nature Reserve and Bird Island. Field trips to sites such as George and Knysa (located on South Africa's beautiful Garden Route) illustrate South Africa's efforts to reconcile development and conservation.
In addition to serving as a port city and important center for the South African motor industry, Port Elizabeth has retained a laid-back attitude that has given it the nickname "the Friendly City." A great number of tourists from within South Africa as well as Europe and the United States make their way to this beautiful city every year, taking advantage of its beach front location, sunshine, numerous attractions, and traditional South African food and wine.
Explore first-hand Port Elizabeth's unique culture through its ethnic diversity derived from its long history of European settlements and immigration from India, Malaysia and many other foreign nations. The city is also a gateway into South Africa's unrivaled biodiversity. Port Elizabeth makes an ideal starting point for those of you who want to explore other nearby attractions such as the famous Garden Route, national parks such as the Tsitsikamma National Park or one of the many game reserves boasting the Big Five of South Africa, elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards, and rhinos.
