Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $140 a day this sits above the $105 median for water & sailing. It is cheaper than 7 of the 24 water & sailing options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in South Africa
- 1 other option in South Africa, starting with safari field guide (fgasa) in Hoedspruit from $6,000.
- When to go
- Workable across 5 months of the year — Nov-Mar. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 10 days, but the honest range is 5 to 30. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
