LOCATIONS
THE WESTERN CAPE
The Western Cape province is a place of great contrast. Cape Town and Khayelitsha are located on the southern point of the African continent. Cape Town is modern, wealthy, and home to over 3 million residents. Surrounding Cape Town, located just a short drive down the road, is Khayelitsha. This is an underdeveloped informal township, where a large portion of Orchard: Africa’s work lies. It is full of life and activity—but a place where families face the everyday challenges of extreme poverty.
WHERE YOU’LL STAY:
While serving in South Africa you will stay at the Orchard: Africa mission house - a safe place to decompress, share meals with your teammates and reflect on the experiences you have had in Africa. Our guesthouse is located in Somerset West and is the home away from home you’ll need. You will find comfortable beds, showers and beautiful mountain views.
THE NORTH WEST
Mahikeng, the capital of the North West province, is a small city surrounded by multiple rural villages. This is where our organization began over 25 years ago. Village life still exists where life is all about community. The pace of life is slow and steady, and relationships are very important. The more rural areas can have difficulty feeding their families, finding quality education, and getting the care they need when they are sick. Spend time serving in villages, partnering with our church programs and pastors.
WHERE YOU’LL STAY:
A critical component to a successful Mission Trip is having a safe, relaxing oasis where you can decompress from all that you experience each day and bond with your teammates. Orchard: Africa’s 18-bed guesthouse is just that. With Western amenities, and clean, comfortable living spaces, you’ll feel immersed in the Mahikeng culture, yet perfectly at home.
