I already knew that our field trip to Langa would be life-changing after getting off the van. ![]() We were taken on a tour to Langa by Ubizo Events and Tours, who’s professionalism and hospitality was beyond amazing, might I add! Right after we got done with orientation at the IES Abroad Cape Town Center, Ubizo picked us up from the Center and drove us to Langa, which was about a 20-minute drive.

My second week in Cape Town, my cohort and I attended orientation at UCT, where we met other students from different study abroad providers as well as students who are matriculating into UCT for full-degree programs.

We went over pertinent information, such as academics at the University of Cape Town (otherwise known as UCT, which is the school I’ll be studying at this semester), safety in Cape Town, and even what our medical insurance covers.
